+# tar-install
+
+## About
+Easily install binary tarballs in your home directory without messing with native packages.
+
+> DO NOT USE AS A PACKAGE MANAGER REPLACEMENT
+
+### Use cases:
+ - Testing out binaries without commitment
+ - Installing software just for your user
+ - Installing local libs
+ - Using releases not yet distributed by your package manager
+ - etc
+
+## How to use it
+
+### Preparing the environment
+
+1. Create a folder in your home dir called `.opt`
+2. Add to your path `$HOME/.opt/bin/`
+3. That's it! Start installing packages
+
+### Installing
+From `tar-install -h`:
+```
+Usage: tar-install [OPTION] FILE
+  tar-install file.tar                      Install the tar program in $HOME/.opt
+  tar-install -u, --uninstall file.tar      Uninstall the tar file already installed
+
+ATENTION: BE SURE THAT YOUR TARBALL HAS THE FOLLOWING FORMAT:
+  /program_name
+      /bin
+          program
+      /lib
+          ...
+      /share
+          ... 
+```
