 # Getting Started
 
+## Installation
+
+### Pip
+
+```shell
+pip install debmagic
+```
+
+or directly use uv
+
+```shell
+uvx debmagic
+```
+
+### Debian / Ubuntu - Soon (tm)
+
+```shell
+apt install debmagic
+```
+
+## Example debian/rules.py
+
+Python `debian/rules.py` equivalent of [Ubuntu 24.04 htop](https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/htop/tree/debian/rules?h=ubuntu/noble):
+
+```python
+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+
+from debmagic.v0 import Build, autotools, dh, package
+
+pkg = package(
+    preset=[dh],
+    maint_options="hardening=+all",
+)
+
+if pkg.buildflags.DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS == "linux":
+    configure_params = ["--enable-affinity", "--enable-delayacct"]
+else:
+    configure_params = ["--enable-hwloc"]
+
+# hurd-i386 can open /proc (nothing there) and /proc/ which works
+if pkg.buildflags.DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS == "hurd":
+    configure_params += ["--with-proc=/proc/"]
+else:
+    configure_params += ["--enable-sensors"]
+
+
+@pkg.stage
+def configure(build: Build):
+    autotools.configure(
+        build,
+        ["--enable-openvz", "--enable-vserver", "--enable-unicode", *configure_params],
+    )
+
+pkg.pack()
+```
+
+### debhelper compatibility
+
+Debmagic can use `dh` and provides **dh overrides** as common in `debian/rules` Makefiles:
+
+```python
+from debmagic.v0 import dh
+
+# specify dh arguments:
+dhp = dh.Preset("--with=python3 --builddirectory=build")
+pkg = package(preset=dhp)
+
+# define optional overrides:
+@dhp.override
+def dh_auto_install(build: Build):
+    print("dh override worked :)")
+    build.cmd("dh_auto_install --max-parallel=1")
+
+pkg.pack()
+```
+
+### Custom functions
+
+To add custom functions directly usable from CLI (like custom `debian/rules` targets for maintainers):
+
+```python
+pkg = package(...)
+
+@pkg.custom_function
+def something_custom(some_param: int, another_param: str = "some default"):
+    print(f"you passed {some_param=} {another_param=}")
+
+pkg.pack()
+```
+
+This function can be directly called with:
+
+```console
+./debian/rules.py something-custom --another-param=test 1337
+```
+
+```text
+you passed some_param=test another_param=1337
+```
+
+And generates automatic help for:
+
+```console
+./debian/rules.py something-custom --help
+```
