+You can [install ChordPro][1] directly on your machine, or use Docker
+with the official iamge `chordpro/chordpro:latest`. It can be seamlesly
+integrated with a shell alias:
+
+```
+alias chordpro="docker run -ti --rm --env HOME=\$HOME --env USER=\$USER --workdir \$(pwd) --volume \$HOME:\$HOME chordpro/chordpro:latest chordpro"
+```
+
+This will not function with the included makefile, so you will have to
+export this as a shell function (for example in `.bashrc`):
+
+```
+chordpro() {
+	docker run -ti --rm --env HOME=$HOME --env USER=$USER --workdir "$(pwd)" --volume "$HOME:$HOME" chordpro/chordpro:latest chordpro "$@"
+}
+export -f chordpro
+```
