+## About mastobot
+This simple pyton3 script's purpose is just to copy a number of twitter accounts' statuses to corresponding Mastodon accounts.
+## Prerequisites
+To use #mastobot you need to install tweepy, Mastodon.py and wget. To do so you could e.g. just use pip3 by entering commandline:
+``` sudo pip3 install tweepy ```
+and vice versa.
+Also, you have of course to register the goal accounts on Mastodon and to adjust both the mastodon.py file's _setting_path_ pointing to the absolute path to the settings.json file and
+the setting.json file itself regarding to your needs.
+Above this you need a twitter developer account to receive consumer and access keypairs. For a HowTo please take a look at the tweepy documentation.
+
+## Usage
+After having filled in every information into the settings.json file you could use e.g. ```crontab -e``` on unixoid systems from shell and add a line like
+```*/15 * * * *   python3 /home/username/mastobot/mastobot.py >> /home/username/mastobot.log``` which lets the script be triggered every 15 minutes.
+By default the script will be limited to 25 tweets per account for this period which should definitely be enough for a human account I think.
