+
+
+### `Installation on Linux/Mac`
+
+First clone the repo using the command above and navigate to the cloned directory. Then run the command below to install all the dependencies. If the system has multiple versions of Python and pip installed, use version 3.
+
+```sh
+cd encryptstego
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+After all the dependencies are installed, just run the main file using the command below. The program GUI should open.
+
+```sh
+python encryptstego.py
+```
+
+### `Usage`
+
+This application can be used to embed the text messages into images. The main window has two options Encode and Decode. As the names suggest, the Encode button is used to encode the text into images while the Decode button is used to decode the texts from encoded images.
+
+For encoding, a password must be provided. The password is used to encrypt the text before encoding as well as to dynamically select the pixels to embed the data into.
+
+For decoding, the correct image with encoded text must be used. The password must be correct. Without the correct passwoes, the text can never be extracted from the image.
