+# Motivation
+
+`oephys2nix` is a comand-line-interface (cli), which helps converting
+[relacs](https://github.com/relacs/relacs) data and
+[open-ephys](https://open-ephys.org/gui) data to a single nix file. For making
+life easier to work with behavior and neuronal data.
+
+## Installation and Documentation
+Here my general workflow for installing the package.
+```bash
+git clone https://whale.am28.uni-tuebingen.de/git/awendt/oephys2nix
+cd oephys2nix
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+To see the documentation you need to install [quarto](https://quarto.org).
+Please follow the installation instructions for quarto, and install the extra
+dependencies.
+
+```bash
+pip install "[.docs]"
+cd doc
+quartodoc build
+quarto preview
+```
+which should open the documentation at localhost.
