 # lightcards
-Lightcards is a simple terminal program for creating flashcards from a markdown table
+Terminal flashcards from Markdown.
+
+## Installation
+Lightcards is only tested and maintained on Linux. Support for other Unix-like operating systems such as MacOS and the various BSDs is likely, although untested. Windows support may be possible with [windows-curses](https://pypi.org/project/windows-curses/) or the like, however much of the program makes the assumption that there is a Unix-like file hierarchy, which may break on Windows. Patches will not be accepted to improve Windows support, although would be for MacOS or a BSD.
