+# Chronograf
+
+## An Open-Source UI for Monitoring and Alerting your Infrastructure
+Chronograf is an open-source web application written in go and react.js that is designed to simply and easily visualize your monitoring data and provide tools to create alerting and automation rules. 
+
+## Features
+* High level infrastructure view and search
+* Application specific monitoring for:
+  * System stats
+  * InfluxDB
+  * Docker Containers
+  * Kuberentes
+  * Reids
+  * NSQ
+  * MySQL
+  * Postgres
+* Kapacitor alert creation and tracking
+
+## Installation
+
+We recommend installing Chrongraf using one of the [pre-built packages](https://influxdata.com/downloads/#chronograf). Then start Chronograf using:
+
+* `service chronograf start` if you have installed Chronograf using an official Debian or RPM package.
+* `systemctl start chronograf` if you have installed Chronograf using an official Debian or RPM package, and are running a distro with `systemd`. For example, Ubuntu 15 or later.
+* `$GOPATH/bin/chronograf` if you have built Chronograf from source.
 
 ## Builds
 
+* Chronograf works with go 1.7.3, npm 3.10.7 and node v6.6.0. Additional version support of these projects will be implemented soon, but these are the only supported versions to date.
 * To build assets and the go server, run `make`.
 * To run server either `./chronograf --port 8888` or `make run`
-* If you add files to the javascript build and you don't want to rebuild everything, run `make bindata && make chronograf`
