+## Launching
+You can launch app by `sudo ./zenmonitor`, or you can install it to your system and then launch it from your OS menu.
+
+Note: Because superuser privileges are usually needed to access data from MSR driver, you need to launch zenmonitor as root for monitoring CPU power usage (RAPL).
+
+## Installing
+By default, Zenmonitor will be installed to /usr/local.
 ```
-sudo ./zenpower
+sudo make install

+
+To add menu item for launching zenpower as root (Polkit is required):
+```
+sudo make install-polkit
