 # RustPass
 
+An easy to use command-line password generator that creates secure passwords. Randomness is seeded cryptographically.
+
+# Usage:
+
+`./rustpass [number of characters]`<br>
+or <br>
+`./rustpass [number of characters] "[excluded characters]"`
+
+<hr>
+
+eg: `./rustpass 32` <br>
+output: `E$bRUSTiPASS*,ISl{!M&<\[COOL0eVw` <br>
+eg (with excluded characters): `./gopass 32 "$,!"` <br>
+output: `EYbRUSTiPASS*2ISl{?M&<\[COOL0eVw` <- note the excluded characters are not present in the output
+
+# How to install/use for Windows:
+
+1. Download Windows binary, it may be helpful to simply rename it to "rustpass.exe"  to keep
+   commands shorter. (Make sure to add .exe, this won't need to be typed to execute the file from the CLI, but it is
+   required for Windows to recognize the binary)
+2. Move the file to your `C:\Users\[Username]` directory
+3. Opening the console *without* Administrator privileges will put you in the directory mentioned above by default
+4. Now type `rustpass [number of characters]` (Ex. `rustpass 64`) to generate a new password!
+
+# How to install/use for Linux:
+
+1. Download Linux binary, it may be helpful to simply rename it to "rustpass" to keep commands shorter.
+2. Move the file to your home directory.
+3. `chmod +x rustpass` if necessary
+4. Opening your terminal should put you in your home directory by default, if not, just type `cd` to get sent back to
+   home.
+5. Now type `./rustpass [number of characters]` (Ex. `./rustpass 64`) to generate a new password!
