+# bndd
+## The daemon for boundaries
+
+### Note: This repository is part of the [boundaries](https://github.com/pauljako/boundaries) rewrite as a client/server model. Once it is completed, the old boundaries will be deprecated.
+
+## Installing
+#### Note: Currently, bndd requires another boundaries installation to already be installed.
+
+You can compile the package with the following command (assuming [bpb](https://github.com/pauljako/bpb) and go are installed):
+```shell
+bpb .
+```
+
+After that you can install the built package inside the package/ directory
