 RAT
 ===
-RAT is an acronym for Reflectivity Algorithms Toolbox for Rascal. This is a MATLAB toolbox for analysing non-polarized neutron reflectivity data at multiple contrasts. This is designed to fit multiple contrast neutron reflectivity data, primarily using the Abeles layer model but user-defined model function are also supported.
+The Reflectivity Algorithms Toolbox (RAT) for Rascal is a MATLAB toolbox for analysing non-polarized neutron reflectivity data. The toolbox is designed to fit multiple contrast neutron reflectivity data, using the Abeles formalism with either traditional layer models, or using user-defined custom models.
 
-This is currently still in development. We are working towards a first release of the toolbox. In the meantime, please note that usage may change and that releases are not yet stable.
+How to Use
+----------
+MATLAB is required to RAT, the minimum supported version is **R2023a**. To use RAT, download and extract the appropriate version for you OS from the [release](https://github.com/RascalSoftware/RAT/releases) page. In the extracted folder, run the `addPaths` script in the MATLAB console and you can now run your analysis.
