+## Installation
+Using an [external webserver](https://github.com/webbukkit/dynmap/wiki/External-Webserver-Basics) is recommended.
+
+### External webserver
+1. Download the latest release.
+2. Extract into your webserver root. Any existing index.html should be overwritten.
+3. Clear any CDN caches you may have
+4. Done.
+
+### Default internal webserver
+1. Download the latest release.
+2. Extract into `plugins/dynmap/web`. The existing index.html should be overwritten.
+3. (Optional) Set index.html as readonly. This will prevent Dynmap overwriting it after every update.
+4. Clear any CDN caches you may have.
+5. Done.
+
+## Customisation
+The index.html file can be edited to add custom favicons, just like the original Dynmap.
+You are also free to build LiveAtlas yourself to make further changes.
+
+## Building
+First run `npm install` to install LiveAtlas dependencies. You can then either run `npm run serve` to start a local dev server, or `npm run build` to build.
+
+## Support
+If you find a bug, please create an issue with as must detail as possible. I'm working on this in my spare time, so fixes are on a best effort basis, but I'll eventually find time for them.
+
+Please do not contact the Dynmap team regarding any issue with LiveAtlas. They will be very upset.
