+# Tent
+
+Tent is a tiny webserver intended for serving files and directories from
+a single path on the filesystem. Kinda like Python's http.server but with better
+defaults.
+
+No non-standard dependencies. Essentially an http.ServeFile() wrapper.
+
+## Installation
+
+Tent can be compiled with `make` or `go build`, and installed system-wide by
+running `make install` with root-level permissions.
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+Usage of ./tent:
+ -host string
+ IP address to listen on (default "127.0.0.1")
+ -port uint
+ Port to listen on (default random)
+ -path string
+ Absolute or relative path to serve (default "./")
+```
