+# Botisimo Documentation
+
+This documentation is built using [Sphinx docs](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/), which uses [reST](http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html) for markup. This allows the docs to cover a vast amount of topics without using a thousand-line README file.
+
+Sphinx docs is pip-installable via `pip install sphinx`. Once installed, open a command line in the docs folder and run the following commands:
+
+```bash
+$ sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+This will install the requirements needed for the generating the docs. Afterwards you can run:
+
+```bash
+$ make html
+```
+
+The docs will be generated, the output files will be placed in the `_build/html/` directory, and can be browsed (locally) with any browser.
+
+The docs can also be found online at [https://docs.botisimo.com](https://docs.botisimo.com).
