 # RPI Menu
 Basically a full screen program menu. Meant for Raspberry Pi OS.
+
+I recommend you putting this repo on your home folder under the name `menu`. (/home/pi)
+
+# Requirements
+- Python 3+
+- Tkinter 8+
+- Kodi
+- Steam Link
+- [Retropie](https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/)
+- [Mycroft AI](https://mycroft-ai.gitbook.io/docs/using-mycroft-ai/get-mycroft/linux) (Optional) (Must clone it on the home folder)
+
+# Putting this on startup
+If you want to make this python app autostart when xserver is started do the following
+
+Edit `/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart`
+
+Add the following command in the bottom `/usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/menu/menu.py`
+
+# Debugging
+If you're using SSH (recommended). You need to execute `run.sh`.
