+Installation
+============
+
+1. Initialize scratch.db 
+
+    <pre>sqlite3 db/scratch.db &lt; schema.sql</pre>
+    
+2. Ensure both <code>scratch.db</code> and its containing folder (i.e. <code>db/</code>) are writable by the 
+application, normally this means chown-ing them as <code>www-data</code> or whatever user your httpd is running under.
+
+    <pre>chown www-data db/ db/sratch.db</pre>
+
+3. Copy <code>config.php-dist</code> to <code>config.php</code> and edit path to Calibre, etc.
+
+4. Setup HTTP Basic authentication for epube directories. This is required, even if you're the only user.
