+=====================================
+
+## Requirements
+
+* Icinga Director (&gt;= 1.1.0)
+* php-xml for optional XML file support
+* php-yaml for optional YAML file support
+* php-zip for optional XLSX file support
+
+When running `PHP 7.x` you'll need the latest `2.x beta` version for [php-yaml](http://pecl.php.net/package/yaml).
+In case your Linux distribution offers precompiled packages they should be fine, regardless of whether they ship `php-yaml` or `php-syck`. In either case please
+let me know as I didn't test them on different operatingsystems yet.
+
+## Install the Fileshipper module
+
+As with any Icinga Web 2 module, installation is pretty straight-forward. In
+case you're installing it from source, all you have to do is to drop the `fileshipper`
+module in one of your module paths. You can examine (and set) the module path(s)
+in `Configuration / Application`. In a typical environment you'll probably drop the
+module to `/usr/share/icingaweb2/modules/fileshipper`. Please note that the directory
+name MUST be `fileshipper` and not `icingaweb2-module-fileshipper` or anything else.
+To do so you could run the following commands on the CLI.
+
+```sh
+cd /usr/share/icingaweb2/modules
+git clone https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2-module-fileshipper.git fileshipper
+```
+
+Last but not least go to `Configuration / Modules` and enable the `fileshipper`
+module, or run the following command on the CLI:
+
+```sh
+icingacli module enable fileshipper
+```
+
+That's all, now you are ready to define your first [Import Source](03-ImportSource.md)
+definitions and to ship hand-crafted plain Icinga 2 [Config Files](04-FileShipping.md)!
