+PyIRCBot is designed to run on Python 2.6+ and 3+ with zero code changes. Several

+*********************
+Initial Configuration
+*********************
+
+This is a quick-start guide for the minimal setup to run PyIRCBot.
+
+Getting Started
+===============
+
+PyIRCBot is modular. The core bot files may reside in one directory, modules in
+another, and userdata in a third. This way, setups can be created where many
+unprivileged users may rely one one set of core/module files they cannot edit,
+but can customize their instance.
+
+Configuration is stored in 3 locations:
+
+- **Core config** - Environmental information for the bot, like where modules and 
+  core code is.
+- **Instance config** - Information about one instance of the bot, such as where
+  module data for the instance will be stored, server address, etc
+- **Module config** - Where module configuration files will be stored
+
+Core Configuration
+==================
+
+.. code-block:: python
+    
+    botdir: /home/example/bot/pyircbot/
+    moduledir: /home/example/bot/pyircbot/modules/
+
+The example core configuration is stored in `config.main.yml`. This contains two options:
+
+.. cmdoption:: botdir
+
+    Must be the absolute path to where main.py and the directory `core` resides.
+
+.. cmdoption:: moduledir
+
+    must be the absolute path to the directory of modules is.
+
+.. note:: All paths require a trailing slash
+
+Instance Configuration
+======================
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    bot:
+      datadir: /home/example/bot/data/
+      rpcbind: 0.0.0.0
+      rpcport: 1876
+    connection:
+      server: irc.freenode.net
+      ipv6: off
+      port: 6667
+    modules:
+      - PingResponder
+      - Services
+      - MySQL
+      - AttributeStorage
+
+The example bot instance is stored in `config.instance.yml`. This contains several options:
+
+.. cmdoption:: bot.datadir
+
+    Location where module data will be stored. This directory generally contains
+    two folders: `config` and `data`. Config contains a yml file for each module
+    of the same name. Data can be empty, the bot will create directories for
+    each module as needed.
+
+.. cmdoption:: bot.rpcbind
+
+    Address on which to listen for RPC conncetions. RPC has no authentication so
+    using 127.0.0.1 is reccommended.
+
+.. cmdoption:: bot.rpcport
+
+    Port on which RPC will listen
+
+.. cmdoption:: connection.server
+
+    Hostname or IP of the IRC server to connection to
+
+.. cmdoption:: connection.ipv6
+
+    Enable or disable defaulting to IPv6 using the value "off" or "on"
+
+.. cmdoption:: connection.port
+
+    Port to connect to on the IRC server
+
+.. cmdoption:: modules
+
+    A YAML list of modules to load. Modules are loaded in the order they are listed here.

+*************
+Running a bot
+*************
+
+The bot is invoked from the command line:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    ./pyircbot/main.py -c config.main.yml -b config.instance.yml
+
+.. cmdoption:: -c --config
+
+    Path to the "core" config file
+
+.. cmdoption:: -b --bot
+
+    Path to the "instance" config file
+
+.. note:: A shell script, run-example.sh, is included in the source. This script
+    should be renamed and can be used to run the bot.
+
+The bot will run and print all logging information to stdout.
