+# libimobiledevice
+
+## About
+
+A library to communicate with services of Apple iOS devices using native
+protocols.
+
+## Requirements
+
+Development Packages of:
+* OpenSSL or GnuTLS
+* libplist
+* libusbmuxd
+
+Software:
+* usbmuxd (OSS or Apple's version)
+* make
+* autoheader
+* automake
+* autoconf
+* libtool
+* pkg-config
+* gcc or clang
+
+Optional:
+* cython (Python bindings)
+* doxygen (Documentation)
+
+## Installation
+
+To compile run:
+```bash
+./autogen.sh
+make
+sudo make install
+```
+
+If you require a custom prefix or other option being passed to `./configure`
+you can pass them directly to `./autogen.sh` like this:
+```bash
+./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/local --enable-debug-code
+make
+sudo make install
+```
+
+By default, OpenSSL will be used. If you prefer GnuTLS, configure with
+`--disable-openssl` like this:
+```bash
+./autogen.sh --disable-openssl
+```
