+PNMixer-rs
+==========
+
+About
+-----
+
+Rewrite of [nickaln/pnmixer](https://github.com/nicklan/pnmixer) in
+[Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org).
+
+This is meant as a drop-in replacement, but may diverge in feature set
+in the future.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+The Rust ecosystem uses [Cargo](https://crates.io/), as such, you need
+both the rust compiler and the cargo crate
+(usually part of the compiler toolchain), then issue from within
+the cloned repository:
+
+```sh
+cargo install
+```
