+
+> **Note:** This repository contains the core code of the Nova framework. If you want to build an application using Nova 4, visit the main [Nova repository](https://github.com/nova-framework/bare-app).
+
+## What is the Nova Framework?
+
+Nova Framework is a PHP 5.5 MVC system. It's designed to be lightweight and modular, allowing developers to build better and easy to maintain code with PHP.
+
+The base framework comes with a range of [helper classes](https://github.com/nova-framework/system/tree/master/src/Helpers).
+
+## Requirements
+
+**The framework requirements are limited.**
+
+- PHP 5.5 or greater.
+- Apache Web Server or equivalent with mod rewrite support.
+- IIS with URL Rewrite module installed - [http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite](http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite)
+
+**The following PHP extensions should be enabled:**
+
+- Fileinfo (edit php.ini and uncomment php_fileinfo.dll or use php selector within cpanel if available.)
+- OpenSSL
+- INTL
+
+> **Note:** Although a database is not required, if a database is to be used, the system is designed to work with a MySQL database using PDO.
+
+## Installation
+
+This framework was designed and is **strongly recommended** to be installed above the document root directory, with it pointing to the `public` folder.
+
+Additionally, installing in a sub-directory, on a production server, will introduce severe security issues.
+
+#### Recommended
+The framework is located on [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/nova-framework/bare-app).
+
+You can install the framework from a terminal by using:
+
+```
+composer create-project nova-framework/bare-app foldername -s dev
+```
+
+The foldername is the desired folder to be created.
+
+
+> **Note:** You can install the full application variant from a terminal by using:
+
+```
+composer create-project nova-framework/app foldername -s dev
+```
