+# New Eden Accounting Tool
+
+This is a complete rewrite of the New Eden Accounting Tool currently found at [http://pwning.de/neat]().
+
+At the moment there is nothing much to see here but a bit of playing around with yesod. Pull-Requests are welcome anyway.
+
+## Getting stuff to run
+
+1. Install Haskell like [http://www.stackage.org/Install]()
+2. Go into a folder and do
+    
+    ```
+    wget http://www.stackage.org/lts/cabal.config
+    sudo apt-get install -y build-essential zlib1g-dev
+    cabal update                       # download package list
+    cabal install alex happy yesod-bin # install build tools
+    ```
+
+3. clone this repository into the same folder
+4. install postgres (i use v. 9.3)
+
+    ```
+    sudo apt-get install -y postgresql-9.3 libpg-dev
+    ```
+
+5. create user and database inside a psql-shell as user postgres:
+
+    ```
+    CREATE ROLE neat;
+    ALTER ROLE neat LOGIN;
+    CREATE DATABASE neat;
+    GRANT ALL ON DATABASE neat TO neat;
+    ```
+
+6. run yesod with ```yesod devel```
