+Currently, we do not provide standalone executables due to our unfamiliarity with
+including 3rd-party software. Abacus uses a number of open source libraries,
+and we do not want to breach the license terms for any of them. As soon as
+as we figure out the correct way to distribute Abacus, we will make a
+standalone distribution available. In the meantime, please use the below
+steps to run Abacus from source.
+
+## Getting the Code
+Abacus is an open source project, and is distributed under the MIT license.
+If you would like to download the source code, simply clone it from
+[GitHub](https://github.com/DanilaFe/abacus).
+Alternatively, if you don't want the bleeding edge version, check out the
+[releases](https://github.com/DanilaFe/abacus/releases).
+
+## Running from Source
+Once you have unpacked the source code, you can simply run it from
+the command line via the shell command:
+```
+./gradlew run
+```
+If you're on Windows, the command is similar:
+```
+gradlew run
+```
+This should download a distribution of Gradle, a build system that is
+used to compile Abacus. After some time, the Abacus window should appear.
+From there, you can use it normally.
