+Installation steps
+-------------------
+
+Requirements:
+
+  * Linux kernel version 3.7 onwards
+  * `python` 2.6.6 onwards
+
+Run following commands as **root**
+
+  1. `eio_cli` installation
+
+        cp CLI/eio_cli /sbin/
+        chmod 700 /sbin/eio_cli
+
+  2. Man page
+    Copy the `eio_cli.8` file under the `man8` subdirectory of the `man` directory
+    (usually `/usr/share/man/man8/`).
+
+  3. Driver installation
+    In the `Driver/enhanceio` subdirectory run (as root)
+
+        make && make install
+
+    The use of `sudo` is currently not supported and will fail with error
+    `No rule to make target `arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl', needed by `arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/asm/syscalls_32.h'.  Stop.`.
+
+  4. manually load modules by running
+  
+        modprobe enhanceio_fifo
+        modprobe enhanceio_lru
+        modprobe enhanceio
+   
+   You can now create `enhanceio` caches using the utility `eio_cli`. Please 
+   refer to `Documents/Persistence.txt` for information about making a cache
+   configuration persistent across reboot.
