+
+Welcome to offline Hedy! You can use offline Hedy to run Hedy on your own
+computer, and it can be used by anyone on the same network.
+
+
+For you
+=======
+
+When you first start up offline Hedy on a Windows computer, two things can
+happen:
+
+- Windows Firewall will ask you whether or not to allow network connections.
+  You should click "Allow".
+- Windows Defender may say that Hedy is a dangerous program and ask you whether
+  or not it should be run. You should click "More Info" and then "Run Anyway".
+
+You can create a teacher account for yourself by visiting the following link
+and then clicking "Create Account".
+
+    http://localhost/invite/newteacher
+
+You can also use one of the built-in accounts, which is named "teacher1"
+with password "123456".
+
+
+For students
+============
+
+When Hedy starts up, it will print a web address made from numbers. Your students
+should type this address into the address bar of their browser.
+
+The address will look something like this, but it will be different on every
+computer. It can also change every time your computer starts up:
+
+    http://192.168.31.13/
+
+
+Upgrading to a newer version
+============================
+
+All your data and your student's data is stored in the file `database.json`
+that you will see in the program's directory. When you download a newer version
+of Offline Hedy it will come with its own empty database. To keep all programs
+around, you can copy over the `database.json` file from the old version to the
+new version of Hedy.
+
+To keep it simple, you can also start fresh and use the newer version only for a
+different class or different year.
