 :construction: :warning:
 **This project is in very stage. Things will change!**
 
+## Install
+
+    $ [sudo] gem install linr
+
+Or add it to your Gemfile, etc.
+
+## Usage
+
+Connect to a InfluxDB host via
+[UDP](https://influxdb.com/docs/v0.9/write_protocols/udp.html)
+and send a series:
+
+```ruby
+require "linr"
+
+client = Linr::Client.new(host: "127.0.0.1", port: 8836)
+client.write(
+ measurement: "cpu_load_short",
+ tags: { host: "server01", region: "us-west" },
+ fields: { value: 0.64 },
+ timestamp: 1434055562
+)
+```
