+# JuPedSim's modules
+
+JuPedSim comes with three loosely coupled modules: 
+
+1. [JPScore](jpscore): The simulation core
+2. [JPSvis](jpsvis): Geometry and trajectories visualization tool
+3. [JPSreport](jpsreport): Implementation of different measurement methods to evaluate out of trajectories the density, the velocity and the flow.
+
+All three modules are configured by means of `xml`-files. For the time being `JuPedSim` does not come yet with a GUI to control the flow of the work. 
+
+# Requirements
+
+1. cmake
+2. g++ oder clang
+3. for JPSvis: [qt](http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/installation.html) and [vtk](http://www.vtk.org/VTK/resources/software.html) are needed.
+
+
+# Installation
+
+For all three modules the compilation is fairly straightforward: 
+
+1. mkdir build && cd build
+2. cmake ..
+3. make -jN (`N` is the number of your CPUs)
