+# eslint-config-react-app
+
+This package includes the shareable ESLint configuration used by [Create React App](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app).
+
+## Installation
+
+*The easiest way to use this configuration is with [Create React App](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app), which includes it by default – you* **don't need to install it separately in Create React App projects.**
+
+If you want to use this ESLint configuration in a project not built with Create React App, you can install it with following steps.
+
+1. Install this package, ESLint and the necessary plugins:
+
+  ```
+  npm install eslint-config-react-app babel-eslint@6.1.2 eslint@3.5.0 eslint-plugin-flowtype@2.18.1 eslint-plugin-import@1.12.0 eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y@2.2.2 eslint-plugin-react@5.2.2 --save-dev
+  ```
+
+2. Create a file named `.eslintrc` with following contents in the root folder of your project:
+
+  ```
+  {
+    "extends": "react-app"
+  }
+  ```
+
+  That's it! You can override the settings from `eslint-config-react-app` by editing the `.eslintrc` file. Learn more about [configuring ESLint](http://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring) on the ESLint website.

 Finally, you will need to install some packages *globally*:
 
 ```sh
-npm install -g eslint babel-eslint eslint-plugin-react eslint-plugin-import eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y eslint-plugin-flowtype
+npm install -g eslint-config-react-app eslint babel-eslint eslint-plugin-react eslint-plugin-import eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y eslint-plugin-flowtype
 ```
 
 We recognize that this is suboptimal, but it is currently required due to the way we hide the ESLint dependency. The ESLint team is already [working on a solution to this](https://github.com/eslint/eslint/issues/3458) so this may become unnecessary in a couple of months.
