+
+## Install
+
+Use `make install` to install the extension globally. To uninstall run `make
+remove`. You may place the extension in any of the directories from which
+`nautilus-python` accepts extensions:
+
+- `$XDG_DATA_HOME/nautilus-python/extensions/`
+- `$XDG_DATA_DIRS/nautilus-python/extensions/`
+
+See <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus-python/#nautilus-python> for
+additional information.
+
+After installing or uninstalling, you must restart nautilus for the change to
+take effect (`killall nautilus`).
