-# herbe
-> Daemon-less notifications wihout D-Bus
+# 🌱 herbe
+**Daemon-less notifications without D-Bus**
+
+## Usage
+```shell
+herbe "This is a notification"
+```
+will display a notification for the duration set in `config.h` that says `This is a notification`
+
+## Installation
+### Dependencies
+* X11 (Xlib)
+* Xft
+* freetype2
+
+The names of packages are different depending on which distribution you use.
+For example, if you use [Void Linux](https://voidlinux.org/) you will have to install these dependencies:
+```shell
+sudo xbps-install base-devel libX11-devel libXft-devel
+```
+
+### Build
+```shell
+git clone https://github.com/dudik/herbe
+cd herbe
+sudo make install
+```
+`make install` requires root privileges because it copies the resulting binary to `/usr/local/bin`. This makes `herbe` accessible globally.
+
+You can also use `make clean` to remove the binary from the build folder, `sudo make uninstall` to remove the binary from `/usr/local/bin` or just `make` to build the binary locally.
+
+## Configuration
+herbe is configured at compile-time by editing `config.h`. Every option should be self-explanatory. There is no `height` option because height is determined by font size and text padding.
