+## Compiling and Installing
+First you will need to clone the repository and cd inside
+```sh
+https://github.com/edisionnano/QDiskInfo.git && cd QDiskInfo
+```
+Then you must create a build directory and cd inside
+```sh
+mkdir build && cd build
+```
+After that use CMake to setup the project, Qt version can also be set to 5 (for example for Ubuntu)
+```sh
+cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=MinSizeRel -DQT_VERSION_MAJOR=6
+```
+And finally compile the project with all the threads
+```sh
+make -j$(nproc)
+```
+This will create a `QDiskInfo` binary on the build directory but you can also install it using
+```sh
+sudo make install
+```
