+# CircuitPython Installation
+
+To install the CircuitPython Code:
+
+1. Download the following files and folders:
+
+- code.py
+- adafruit_hid folder
+- adafruit-circuitpython...uf2
+
+2. If you haven't installed CircuitPython to the board previously, double-click the reset button on the board to enter bootloader mode. Drag the .uf2 files into the BOOT drive that appears.
+
+3. Drag and drop the code.py file into the drive.
+
+4. Drag the adafruit_hid folder into the lib folder in the drive.
+
+Note: If you are on a Mac and receive a memory error, you may need to copy the folder using command line instead of dragging and dropping. You will need to:
+
+- Open the Terminal app 
+- Navigate to the location of the folder most likely you'll need to enter: </br>
+```cd Downloads```
+
+- To copy the entire folder and internal files type: </br>
+```cp -rX adafruit-hid /Volumes/CIRCUITPY/lib```
+
+You should now be able to see the adafruit-hid folder inside the lib folder.
+
+That's it! Your Rocket Switch Interface will now send a Tab and Space when your connected switches are pressed.
+
+If you'd like to change the keys being sent: 
+1. visit the [Adafruit HID Documentation](https://docs.circuitpython.org/projects/hid/en/latest/_modules/adafruit_hid/keycode.html) for the complete list of keycodes. 
+
+2. Open the ```code.py``` file in a simple text editor or better yet a code editor if you have one installed.
+3. Type the desired keycode on line number 25 replacing the TAB or SPACE.
+4. Save your file and the updates will automatically be applied.
