+
+## Installation
+
+Install from PyPI with:
+
+```bash
+pip install epydeck
+```
+
+or from local checkout:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/PlasmaFAIR/epydeck.git
+cd epydeck
+pip install .
+```
+
+We recommend switching to [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) to manage packages.
+
+## Usage
+
+The interface follows the standard Python
+[`json`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html) module:
+
+- `epydeck.load` to read from a `file` object
+- `epydeck.loads` to read from an existing string
+- `epydeck.dump` to write to a `file` object
+- `epydeck.dumps` to write to a string
+
+```python
+import epydeck
+
+# Read from a file with `epydeck.load`
+with open(filename) as f:
+    deck = epydeck.load(f)
+
+print(deck.keys())
+# dict_keys(['control', 'boundaries', 'constant', 'species', 'laser', 'output_global', 'output', 'dist_fn'])
+
+# Modify the deck as a usual python dict:
+deck["species"]["proton"]["charge"] = 2.0
+
+# Write to file
+with open(filename, "w") as f:
+    epydeck.dump(deck, f)
+
+print(epydeck.dumps(deck))
+# ...
+# begin:species
+#   name = proton
+#   charge = 2.0
+#   mass = 1836.2
+#   fraction = 0.5
+#   number_density = if((r gt ri) and (r lt ro), den_cone, 0.0)
+#   number_density = if((x gt xi) and (x lt xo) and (r lt ri), den_cone, number_density(proton))
+#   number_density = if(x gt xo, 0.0, number_density(proton))
+# end:species
+# ...
+```
+
+## Further Examples
 
 Reads from file into a standard Python `dict`. Repeated blocks, such
 as `species`, have an extra level of nesting using the block `name`.
