+ZendSkeletonApplication
+=======================
 
-Main repository
+Introduction
+------------
+This is a simple, skeleton application using the ZF2 MVC layer and module
+systems. This application is meant to be used as a starting place for those
+looking to get their feet wet with ZF2.
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Using Composer (recommended)
+----------------------------
+The recommended way to get a working copy of this project is to clone the repository
+and use `composer` to install dependencies using the `create-project` command:
+
+    curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php --
+    php composer.phar create-project -sdev --repository-url="https://packages.zendframework.com" zendframework/skeleton-application path/to/install
+
+Alternately, clone the repository and manually invoke `composer` using the shipped
+`composer.phar`:
+
+    cd my/project/dir
+    git clone git://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication.git
+    cd ZendSkeletonApplication
+    php composer.phar self-update
+    php composer.phar install
+
+(The `self-update` directive is to ensure you have an up-to-date `composer.phar`
+available.)
+
+Another alternative for downloading the project is to grab it via `curl`, and
+then pass it to `tar`:
+
+    cd my/project/dir
+    curl -#L https://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication/tarball/master | tar xz --strip-components=1
+
+You would then invoke `composer` to install dependencies per the previous
+example.
+
+Using Git submodules
+--------------------
+Alternatively, you can install using native git submodules:
+
+    git clone git://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication.git --recursive
+
+Virtual Host
+------------
+Afterwards, set up a virtual host to point to the public/ directory of the
+project and you should be ready to go!
+
+Alternatively — if you are using PHP 5.4 or above — you may start the internal PHP cli-server in the public
+directory:
+
+    cd public
+    php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 index.php
+
+This will start the cli-server on port 8080, and bind it to all network
+interfaces.
