+# Madb: Multi-device Android Debug Bridge
+
+[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/vanadium/madb?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/vanadium/madb)
+
+Madb is a command line tool that wraps Android Debug Bridge (adb) and provides
+various features for controlling multiple Android devices concurrently.
+
+This tool is part of the Vanadium effort to build a framework and a set of
+development tools to enable and ease the creation of multi-device user
+interfaces and apps.
+
+# Requirements
+
+* OS
+ - Linux (64bit)
+ - Mac OS X (64bit)
+ - Windows will be supported soon
+* Tools
+ - [ADB](http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html): must be
+installed and accessible from `PATH`. ADB comes with the Android SDK.
+ - (Optional) [Flutter](https://flutter.io/): needed for using Flutter project
+   specific features.
+
+# Installing madb
+
+## Using Go Get Command
+
+If you have Go command line tool installed, you can use the `go get`
+command to get the most recent version of `madb`:

+add `<your first GOPATH>/bin` to your `PATH` environment variable before using
