+# Installing AgentEval
+
+## From Maven Central
+
+Add the dependencies to your project:
+
+### Maven
+
+```xml
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>org.byteveda.agenteval</groupId>
+    <artifactId>agenteval-junit5</artifactId>
+    <version>0.1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
+    <scope>test</scope>
+</dependency>
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>org.byteveda.agenteval</groupId>
+    <artifactId>agenteval-metrics</artifactId>
+    <version>0.1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
+    <scope>test</scope>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+### Gradle
+
+```kotlin
+testImplementation("org.byteveda.agenteval:agenteval-junit5:0.1.0-SNAPSHOT")
+testImplementation("org.byteveda.agenteval:agenteval-metrics:0.1.0-SNAPSHOT")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Building from Source
+
+If you prefer to build and install AgentEval locally instead of pulling from Maven Central:
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- **Java 21+** — the only requirement. Maven is bundled via the wrapper.
+
+### Clone and Install
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/ByteVeda/agenteval.git
+cd agenteval
+```
+
+**Linux / macOS:**
+
+```bash
+./scripts/install.sh                # Quick install (skips tests)
+./scripts/install.sh --with-tests   # Install with tests
+./scripts/install.sh --skip-javadoc # Skip javadoc for faster builds
+./scripts/install.sh --help         # Show all options
+```
+
+**Windows:**
+
+```cmd
+scripts\install.bat                 REM Quick install (skips tests)
+scripts\install.bat /with-tests     REM Install with tests
+scripts\install.bat /skip-javadoc   REM Skip javadoc for faster builds
+scripts\install.bat /help           REM Show all options
+```
+
+The scripts use the bundled Maven wrapper, so no separate Maven installation is needed. Artifacts are installed to your local Maven repository (`~/.m2/repository`).
+
+### Manual Build (without scripts)
+
+You can also build directly with the Maven wrapper:
+
+```bash
+./mvnw clean install -DskipTests                          # Linux / macOS
+mvnw.cmd clean install -DskipTests                        # Windows
+```
+
+---
+
+## Verifying the Installation
+
+After installing, verify the artifacts are in your local Maven repository:
+
+```bash
+ls ~/.m2/repository/org/byteveda/agenteval/
+```
+
+You should see directories for each module (`agenteval-core`, `agenteval-metrics`, etc.).
+
+---
+
+## Requirements
+
+| Requirement | Version |
+|-------------|---------|
+| Java        | 21+     |
+| Maven       | 3.9+ (bundled via wrapper) |
+| Gradle      | 8.5+ (if using Gradle to consume the library) |
