+# Nix Background Upgrade
+Upgrade NixOS system (and/or home-manager) in the background, with notification support.
+
+**Early stages of development, subject to change and likely not working at the current stage.**
+
+## Install
+Clone the repository and install with pip (or preferred Python packaging system):
+
+```bash
+git clone https://git.xenia.me.uk/pixelifytica/nix-background-upgrade.git
+python3 -m pip install ./nix-background-upgrade
+```
+
+### For development
+Project uses [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/ "Poetry: Python packaging and dependency management tool") to manage dependencies.
+
+Install Poetry (see [documentation](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation) for more details), for example using `pipx`:
+
+```bash
+pipx install poetry
+```
+
+Then install project using `poetry`:
+
+```bash
+poetry install
+```
+
+Python code is formatted using [black](https://pypi.org/project/black/ "The uncompromising code formatter") and [isort](https://pypi.org/project/isort/ "A Python utility / library to sort Python imports").
+
+#### `pre-commit`
+[pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/ "A framework for managing and maintaining multi-language pre-commit hooks") is used to ensure formatting of new/changed files. Install pre-commit hooks with:
+
+```bash
+pre-commit install --install-hooks
+```
+
+### Nix Flake
+Project provides a Nix `flake.nix` to get up and running quickly.
