 # strummolo
 
-Strummolo installs a gizmo for a mumble-based streaming radio
\ No newline at end of file
+This script installs and configures a gizmo for a mumble-based radio
+
+### what is this?
+
+*strummolo* is a script made by nerds for nerds.  
+It should work flawlessly on Debian Buster systems, but considering that it installs packages, users and so on, you should install it into an isolated environment such a dedicated server (physical or virtual) or such an LXC container.
+
+### how it works?
+
+*strummolo* is a bash script, you can easily modify it to fit your needs.  
+You _have_ to modify the configuration files, otherwise it won't work.
+
+Steps to deploy *strummolo*
+ 1. clone the repository (or download the tarball and extract it)
+ 2. run `./deploy.sh -i` and wait for the error :D
+ 3. enjoy
+ 
+### why this name?
+The *strummolo* is a neapolitan name for the spinning top, an old game, which by now is almost no longer played. (source: Wikipedia)  
+It's origin is a crasis of terms *str*eaming and m*umble*: it should was been *strumble* but for a phonetic affinity it became *strummolo*.
