 Operations require Corosync to be running.
+
+
+## Installation
+
+This library is published on opam, so one can do 
+
+```
+opam install corosync
+```
+
+to install the library
+
+## Get started
+
+To get started, make sure you have Corosync configured and running on your cluster.
+If you are new to corosync, start by experimenting some of the builtin Corosync
+cmd tools such as `corosync-cmapctl`, `corosync-quorumtool` etc. Then look at the 
+tools library to see what high level functions are provided by this binding.
+`bin/main.ml` also provides some example code that can be run to test things out.
