 I rewrote a couple of things today to make sure the script still works. 
 
+## Requirements
+
+* Perl 
+* a MTA 
+* PHP (with PDO)
+* a Database server (MySQL, other?)
+* Access to CRON tasks
+
 
 ## Installation
 
  * clone this repo
  * install Perl dependencies
  * install PHP composer dependencies: `cd ./web && composer install`
+ * create a Database and import the schema from `sql/create.sql`
  * add tasks and contacts into the database (no backend yet)
  * run the script: `perl monitolite.pl` 
  * check the web dashboard for results. 
+ * when everything works, you may create a CRON `* * * * * cd <change/this/to/the/correct/path> && /usr/bin/perl monitolite.pl > /dev/null`
