        # Installation and Setup
        
        To install run `pip install --user compsheet` from the terminal. 
        
        To run type 
        
        ```bash
        python3 -m compsheet
        ```
        
        followed by the various inputs and flags. It is recommended that the user establish the alias `compsheet` for easy usage. 
        To do this, edit the file `.bashrc` from the home directory and add the line 
        
        ```bash
        alias compsheet='python3 -m compsheet'
        ```
        
        to the end. One can do this in their favourite editor or simply open a terminal and type 
        
        ```bash
        echo "alias compsheet='python3 -m compsheet'" >> .bashrc
        ```
        into the prompt and press enter. 
        
        # Some examples of usage:
        
        ```bash
        # basic usage
        python3 -m compsheet    # show help message with no alias
        compsheet -h            # show help message with alias set to "compsheet"
        compsheet --explain     # print description of table headers
        compsheet               # compare all files in current directory
        
        # example compbining various switches
        compsheet -v -n 4 -t -o "meta,exact,string" ./dir 
           # [-v]      verbose output: print names of files as they are compared (default: quiet)
           # [-n]      use x processors in multiprocessing                       (default: 1)
           # [-t]      print table summary to stdout                             (default: off)
           # [-o]      do additional optional comparisons                        (default: "meta")
           # [./dir]   path to directory                                         (default: ".")
        ```
