+=========
+A ping tool that sits in your system tray
+---------
+
+- Currently for Ubuntu only
+ - (Requires Python, GTK, and AppIndicator3)

+
+**Usage (in Ubuntu):**
+
+Open the Terminal program and enter the following commands:
+
+    cd ~
+    git clone https://github.com/zyphlar/pinger.git
+
+Open the Startup Applications program and click Add.
+
+    Name: Pinger
+    Command: python ~/pinger/pinger.py
+
+Click Save, and Close. 
+
+Pinger should now start automatically in your system tray when you login next. (It just says "xx.x ms"). You can test it manually by typing `python ~/pinger/pinger.py` in your terminal and pressing Enter.
