+This package contains all the necessary files and scripts to install MCP2210
+Configurator (a graphical application that can be used to configure blank
+MCP2210 devices). The scripts included here are compatible with most 32-bit
+and 64-bit Debian based operating systems (e.g. Kubuntu, etc). Prior to
+installation, you must certify that your system is Debian based (or at least
+uses apt-get) and that you have an active Internet connection.
+
+A list of the included scripts follows:
+– install-rules.sh;
+– install.sh;
+– uninstall-rules.sh;
+– uninstall.sh.
+
+In order to compile and install MCP2210 Configurator for the first time, all
+you have to do is to run "install.sh" by invoking "sudo ./install.sh" on a
+terminal window, after changing your working directory to the current one.
+This script will first obtain and install the required "build-essential",
+"libusb-1.0-0-dev" and "qt5-default"/"qtbase5-dev" packages (if they are not
+installed yet). Then it will compile the application and move it to
+"/usr/local/bin/".
+
+The above mentioned installation script won't create any rules to access
+Silicon Labs devices. If you don't have equivalent rules for accessing such
+devices (with VID 0x04d8), you must run "install-rules.sh" too, which should
+be done by invoking "sudo ./install-rules.sh".
+
+To uninstall, you should run "uninstall.sh" by invoking "sudo ./uninstall.sh",
+again on a terminal window after making sure that your working directory is
+this one. This will delete the previously installed application and source
+code. However it won't remove the packages mentioned above, since they could
+be already installed before the first installation. This script will also not
+remove the previously created rules (if applicable) and, therefore, you should
+run "uninstall-rules.sh" by invoking "sudo ./uninstall-rules.sh" if you wish
+to do so.
+
+P.S.:
+Since the application was designed having KDE in mind, you should get the best
+rendering on Kubuntu and other Debian based systems that employ the above
+desktop environment. However, the application can be perfectly used on systems
+that have other desktop environments (e.g. Gnome, Xfce).
