 # Fiacre Simulator
 
-Eclipse based Fiacre simulator.
+The Fiacre Simulator is an Eclipse based project supporting the edition,
+debugging and animation of formal models written in Fiacre.
+
+Besides the capabilities of a XText plugin, such as syntax-highlighting, the
+Fiacre Simulator includes _LibTTS_, a thrift-based server that can interface
+with a _TTS player_ (an animator for Fiacre models). It also includes a library
+for generating _Message Sequence Charts_ representation from execution traces
+collected during a simulation.
+
+You can visit the [Fiacre project website](http://projects.laas.fr/fiacre/) for
+more information about the language.
+
+## How to install the Fiacre Simulator
+
+We assume that you already installed the Fiacre complier,
+[frac](http://projects.laas.fr/fiacre/download.php), as well as a C compiler.
+
+The plugin is compatible with Eclipse Neon (with the modeling framework) and is
+based on Xtext 2.10.
