+This is a fork of Edward Raff's [LZJD](https://github.com/EdwardRaff/LZJD). The added feature is a plugin for [Postgres](https://www.postgresql.org/) to allow similarity matching in SQL queries.
+
+### Requirements:
+* GCC
+* CMake
+* Boost libraries
+* Postgres requirements:
+  * Server development package, looks like `postgresql-server-dev-12`.
+
+### Compile instructions:
+* Check out the code
+* `cd src`
+* `mkdir build`
+* `cmake ..`
+* `make`
+
+This creates:
+* `liblzjd.shared.so`: Shared library for linking against.
+* `liblzjd.static.a`: Static library for building against.
+* `lzjd`: Command line application.
+* If the Postgres server development package was installed, you should also have:
+  * `lzjd_psql.so`: Postgresl plugin
+
+
+### Installation instructions:
+* Copy `lzjd` to `/usr/local/bin/` or similar, if desired.
+* Copy `liblzjd.shared.so` to `/usr/local/lib/liblzjd.so`, or similar, if desired. Note the file name change.
+* Copy `liblzjd.static.a` to `/usr/local/lib/liblzjd.a`, or similar, if desired. Note the file name change here too.
+* For the Postgres plugin:
+  * Run the command `pg_config --pkglibdir`, this is the installation directory.
+  * Copy `lzjd_psql.so` to the directory shown in the above command. Should be `/usr/lib/postgresql/XX/lib/` where XX is the version number.
+  * As the administrative user for your Postgres environment, run this SQL command to load the plugin: `CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION lzjd_compare(TEXT, TEXT) RETURNS INTEGER AS 'lzjd_psql.so', 'pg_lzjd_compare' LANGUAGE 'c';`. No restart required, the new function `lzjd_compare()` is available.
