-TODO: Add more documentation
\ No newline at end of file
+Requirements:
+Python version:2.6
+
+Installation using virtualenv:
+
+        $ curl -O https://raw.github.com/pypa/virtualenv/master/virtualenv.py
+        $ python virtualenv.py myApp
+        $ . myApp/bin/activate
+
+Note: with the above activation your prompt would change to notify that you are inside the virtualenv myApp
+
+Installing pip inside the virtualenv:
+
+        $ curl https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py | python
+        
+Once the above pip installation is done, clone the github project
+
+        $ git clone git@github.com:gkesavan/iPay.git
+
+now that the repo is cloned, lets use pip to install all required modules to start the server
+        $ cd iPay
+        $ pip install -r requirements.txt
+        $ ./manage.py startapp pay  # give it any name - I used pay
+        $ ./manage.py runserver
+
+This would start the ipay app on http://127.0.0.1:8000 
+
+enjoy
