+## WORK IN PROGRESS
+
+# How to install HBLink3 with D-APRS
+
+### Note about different branches:
+
+There are three different branches to the project. All three branches contain hblink and the D-APRS application. The **gps** branch contains the D-APRS application. The **aprs_features** branch contains the D-APRS application _and_ a modification to allow the beaconing of the location of connected peers, authored by **IU7IGU**. The **termux** branch is optimized to run on Android.
+
+
+# Installation
+
+Install the required modules.
+
+`python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt`
+
+_**Note: Ignore any errors regarding smtplib as that module come by default on most Linux distributions.**_
+
+
+# Configuration
+
+There are 2 diferent ways to run the application. 
+First, it can be run as a client, think of it as a receive only DMR hotspot. This is useful for operators who just want
+ to add APRS functionality to a network. This is the simplest approach and allows for the greatest flexibility for implementing the gateway.
+ The second method is designed for small networks and is highly experimental. Rather than adding the application as a client, the gateway is included in bridge.py. This allows for much simpler configuration, and theoretically would
+ handle multiple position transmissions at the same time. However, it is not know how well it will scale up and what processor resources are required, use at your own risk.
+ 
+ **It is reccommended to run the gateway as a client.**
