 BEDTools, prosaic as it may be, is a collection of utilities for comparing and 
 intersecting genomic features in the UCSC Genome Browser BED format. 
 
+===Installation===
+1.  If you are reading this, you successfully downloaded and unzipped/unpacked the source tarball.  Great.
+2.  Type "make all" at the command line.
+3.  If you encountered no errors, then all of the BED Tools should now be in bin/
+	If not, try to troubleshoot then email me: aaronquinlan@gmail.com
+4.  Copy the files in bin/ to ~/bin or if you have the privileges, to /usr/local/bin.
+5.  Use the tools.

 	intersectBed.  Reports overlaps between features in two BED files.
+	
+	NOTE:  When intersecting SNPs, make sure the coordinate conform to the UCSC format.  That is,
+		   the start position for each SNP should be SNP position - 1 and the end position should
+		   be SNP position.  E.g. chr7	10000001	10000002	rs123464
