+# Ayaya
+
+This is a simple and small tool to send some messages via the [Open Sound Control protocol](http://opensoundcontrol.org). You can use it to test out some OSC interfaces quickly.
+It may not include a lot of features, but it is quite handy for myself. Feel free to contribute more features if you need them.
+
+## Building
+
+On Linux systems, you need to install some dependencies for FLTK first. This is the appropriate command for an Ubuntu-based system:
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install -y libpango1.0-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev libxft-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libxrender-dev libxfixes-dev libpng-dev
+```
+
+After that, it's just a regular build with Cargo.
+```bash
+cargo build --release
+```
+
+You will find the executable called `ayaya` within `target/release/`.
