-build with
+# SetProperty
+
+Analigous to kivy.properties.ListProperty, SetProperty provides a wrapper
+that extends python's set() with [Kivy](https://kivy.org) events.
+
+## Installation
+
+Note that you'll need Cython to run the following commands.
+Install Cython via:
+
+$ pip install Cython
+
+or via your system's package manager (e.g., ``sudo apt install cython``).
+
+Then, cythonize the SetProperty with:
+
+$ python preprocess.py
+
+build the shared library from cythonized with:
+
+$ python build.py build_ext --inplace
+
+or perform both steps with one command:
 
 $ python setup.py build_ext --inplace
