+# Legate
+
+The Legate project makes it easier for programmers to leverage the
+power of large clusters of CPUs and GPUs. Using Legate, programs can be
+developed and tested on moderately sized data sets on local machines and
+then immediately scaled up to larger data sets deployed on many nodes in
+the cloud or on a supercomputer, *without any code modifications*.
+
+For more information about Legate's goals, architecture, and functioning,
+see the [Legate overview](https://docs.nvidia.com/legate/latest/overview.html).
+
+## Installation
