 in a lightweight convention similar to packages such as Phinx or Doctrine Migrations.
 
 ## Installation
+Install using composer:
+
+```
+composer require gatherdigitaluk/pimcore-migrations
+```
 
 ## Configuration
 
+Configuration is intended to be as simple as possible.
+1. After install ensure that the extensionis listed as follows in your extensions.php file
+```php
+<?php
+  return [
+      "PimcoreMigrations" => TRUE
+  ];
+?>
+```
+2. Migrations should be placed in your /website/var/plugins/PimcoreMigrations/migrations folder.
+
+3. The plugin will automatically install a new table into the pimcore environment upon detecting a migrations folder when the console app is executed.
+
 ## Usage
 
+### Extend the AbstractMigration Class
+
+1. Each migration should extend the class PimcoreMigrations\Model\AbstractMigration.
+2. It can be named however you wish, although the last part of the name should be a numeric value separated by an underscore (_).
+For example:
+    - some_table_changes_1000.php
+    - new_custom_persistent_class_1001.php
+    - anotherdifferentlynamedclass_1002.php
+3. Each migration class should have a similarly named classname following the same pattern as Pimcore, example:
+    - SomeTableChanges1000
+    - NewCustomPersistentClass1001
+    - Anotherdifferentlynamedclass1002
+4. If we created the classes above we would have the following versions (represented by an integer)
+    - 1000
+    - 1001
+    - 1002
+
+### Implement the required class methods
+Each Migration should contain both an up() and down() method. UP being the default operation, and DOWN being to roll
+back changes. Here is an example:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+class MyMigrationClass1000 extends \PimcoreMigrations\Model\AbstractMigration 
+{
+
+    public function up()
+    {
+        \Pimcore\Db::get()->query("CREATE table `test`");
+    }
+
+    public function down()
+    {
+        \Pimcore\Db::get()->query("DROP table `test`");    
+    }
+
+}
+
+
+```
+
+### Run the console app
+Migrations can be run through the console application made available in the Pimcore\Cli. Running as a plugin ensures that 
+all migrations are runnning in the Pimcore environment. There are 3 commands available and can be run as follows:
+
+1. Check Status
+```
+php console.php deployment:migrations:status
+```
+
+2. Migrate up
+```
+php console.php deployment:migrations:up
+or
+php console.php deployment:migrations:up --fromVersion 1000 --toVersion 1001
+```
+
+3. Migrate down 
+```
+php console.php deployment:migrations:down
+or
+php console.php deployment:migrations:down --fromVersion 1000 --toVersion 1001
+```
+
