+# GHOSTS LITE
+
+## Background
+
+### What is this?
+GHOSTS LITE is a streamlined version of the GHOSTS framework designed to simulate realistic 
+network without the expense of running actual applications. It generates web browsing traffic 
+and file creation programatically and is configured to be similar to real-user actions. 
+
+### Why did we build this? 
+We built ghosts-lite to provide a more efficient tool for simulating network activity. By 
+avoiding the need to launch applications like web browsers or office suites, ghosts-lite is 
+able to reduce the resource consumption and complexity of the simulation, resulting in saving 
+CPU, storage space, and other memory resources.
+
+### What were the goals?
+
+- **Efficiency:** Reduce the resources required to simualte user activity on a network.
+- **Simplicity:** Simplify installation and configuration compared to the full GHOSTS framework
+- **Realism:** Maintain the ability to generate realistic network activity.
+
+## Installation
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Ensure you have the .NET framework installed on your system.
+
+### Download and install ghosts-lite
+
+1. **Download the latest release** from *Insert link to repository once moved*.
+2. **Extract the downloaded archive** to a directory of your choice.
+3. **Open terminal** and navigate to the directory where you extracted ghosts-lite
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- Ensure the .NET framework is installed with version 8.0 or later.
+- If you're experiencing any problems please submit an issue or start a discussion.
