-# rhd-electroplating
-Electroplate using the Intan RHD system
+Intan RHD2000 Electroplating Interface Software (64c/128c)
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+This repository contains *modified* code for electroplating using the
+[Intan RHD2000 Electroplating System](http://intantech.com/RHD2000_electroplating_board.html).
+The software in this repository has been designed to work with our custom 64 channel
+recording & plating amplifier boards (schematics will be published soon), but should
+also still work with the existing 128 channel amplifier boards that can be ordered
+directly from Intan Technologies LLC.
+
+In order to run the software provided with this repository, you will need
+the operating system specific Opal Kelly library files. These have been moved to a
+[separate repository](https://github.com/bothlab/intan-okfrontpanel) so they can be shared
+between multiple projects that connect to Intan devices which use Opal Kelly FPGA integration modules.
+
+## How to install
+
+On Debian/Ubuntu **Linux**, just download the ready-made .deb packages from the Github release and install them.
+You should then be able to launch the electroplating software from the application menu.
+
+Alternatively, compile from source (works on any Linux distribution as long as the required dependencies
+are installed):
+```bash
+$ sudo apt install build-essential git cmake meson ninja-build qt5-default
+$ git clone https://github.com/bothlab/intan-okfrontpanel
+$ cd intan-okfrontpanel && mkdir build && cd build
+$ meson .. && sudo ninja install
+$ cd ../..
+$ git clone https://github.com/bothlab/rhd2000electroplating.git
+$ cd rhd2000electroplating && mkdir build && cd build
+$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILDTYPE=RelWithDebInfo ..
+$ make && sudo make install
+```
+On **Windows**, download and install the USB drivers from the Intan Technologies website before
+connecting the RHD2000 electroplating board to a computer. You can then use the prebuilt Windows
+binary from the [Github release](https://github.com/bothlab/rhd2000electroplating/releases).
