+## Setup
+
+Clone this repository with:
+```bash
+git clone https://codeberg.org/Yael-II/ArXtic/
+```
+Create a virtual environment with python using:
+```bash
+python3 -m venv venv
+```
+If you decide to use a different virtual environment, please change the `VENV_DIR` variable in `cfg/general_config.cfg`. Then, to allow the execution of the setup script, use:
+```bash
+chmod u+x setup.sh
+```
+and then run:
+```bash
+./setup.sh
+```
+Finally, you may want to add filters. For each field you want to filter, create a file in the `cfg/filters` directory. The fields that are filtered for each file is specified by `#FIELD="field_name"` in the file. Then, filtered keywords are listed, separated by a line break (one item per line). Then name of the file has no incidence (except for masked files using a `.` (dot), such as `.filename`, which are ignored).
