+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- **Rainmeter v4.5 or newer.** Rainmeter can be installed by downloading the `.exe` file [from Rainmeter's official website.](https://www.rainmeter.net/)
+- **JaxCore v40005 or newer.** JaxCore can be installed by downloading the `.rmskin` file from [JaxCore's official website.](https://jax-core.github.io/)
+
+### Installation
+
+Assuming you successfully downloaded and installed Rainmeter as well as JaxCore, you can now proceed to install ModularClocks by following the steps below.
+
+1. Download and run the `.rmskin` file for **ModularClocks** from the official [JaxCore site](https://jax-core.github.io/) to install **ModularClocks**.
+2. Leave the installation settings at their defaults and click Install.
+3. When the installation is finished, a startup pop-up should appear. Follow through the pop-up to finish installing **ModularClocks**.
+
+* Note: If you find that the JaxCore option is red on the startup pop-up, please press the red button and Core will be installed automatically. Perchance this fails, you can manually install Core by downloading the `.rmskin` file from [JaxCore's official website.](https://jax-core.github.io/)
+
+### Setting Up
+
+To use video the custom clock styles, you must first install and configure [ImageMagick](https://github.com/khanhas/MagickMeter).** Follow the instructions below to setup **ImageMagick**.
+
+
+#### Installing ImageMagick:
+
+1. Open [this link](https://www.imagemagick.org/script/download.php#windows). This link will take you to another site where you must locate and download the appropriate installer.
+2. Find a suitable release under **Windows Binary Release** that corresponds to your requirements and download it. The `ImageMagick-7.1.0-19-Q16-HDRI-x64-dll.exe` executable will be used to install for this guide.
+3. After the download is complete, run the installer, which in this case is `ImageMagick-7.1.0-19-Q16-HDRI-x64-dll.exe`.
+4. Leave the installation settings at their defaults and follow through the installation. You can tinker around with the settings **ONLY** if you know what they do.
+5. Open [this link](https://github.com/khanhas/MagickMeter/releases) and dowload the latest release of the **MagickMeter** skin. The `magickmeter_0.7.3.rmskin` Rainmeter skin file will be used to install for this guide.
+6. Leave the installation settings at their defaults and click Install.
+And that is how you setup **ImageMagick**. You can now proceed to configure the Clock Presets.
+
+* **Note:** An alternate approach for **Step 5** and **Step 6** is:
+ - Download the [plugin DLLs](https://github.com/khanhas/MagickMeter/releases)
+ - Copy the version that corresponds to your system from the zip file (x86 or x64)
+ - Open Run(`Win + R`), type `%appdata%\Rainmeter\Plugins\` and press **OK**.
+ - Manually paste DLL you copied in the second step.
+ - Finally, restart Rainmeter and your plugin will be activated.
+
+#### Choosing Presets:
+Follow the steps outlined below to setup custom video backgrounds:
+
+1. Open Core and head over to the **Modules** section.
+2. Select **ModularClocks** from the list and proceed to the **Appearance** tab.
+3. Under **Clock Style** choose a preset that tickles your fancy.
+4. The clock style will be changed if you refresh **ModularClocks** by deactivating and activating the toggle on the bottom left.
+
+* **Note:** The **Render** and **Appearance** tabs allow you to further customize each preset as required.
