+To setup rDiff, please follow these steps:
+
+1) Download the SAMTools (version 0.1.7) from http://samtools.sourceforge.net/ 
+and install it. You need to add the flag -fPIC in the SAMTools Makefile for compilation.
+
+2) Change to directory that contains rDiff and configure rDiff by typing:
+
+./configure 
+
+this etects and stores paths of dependencies necessary to compile and run rDiff. 
+You can also set these variables manually using the interactive configuration:
+
+./configure -i 
+
+3) To compile rDiff, type:
+
+make
+
+4) When successfully completed, rDiff is usable. Check out the <Examples>:
+
+make example
+
+This will download an example dataset and run the rDiff.parametric on it. 
+You can also run rDiff.parametric, rDiff.nonparametric or rDiff.poisson by typing:
+    
+make more_examples
