+What is nailgun?
+----------------
+Nailgun is a client, protocol, and server for running Java programs from
+the command line without incurring the JVM startup overhead.Programs run in the server (which is implemented in Java), and are
+triggered by the client (written in C), which handles all I/O.
+
+**Note:** Nailgun is based on original code developed by Marty Lamb, you can find his original website here.
+As of October 2017, the repository has been transferred to facebook and is being maintained and used by Buck team. Nailgun will remain available under the Apache license, version 2.0.

+Benefits of nailgun?
+--------------------
+Elimanate JVM startup time completely and run all of your java apps in the same JVM called the nailgun server which only starts once. This gets rid of the slow startup times of the JVM everytime you want to run a program.
---
+MacOS Build and Installation
+----------------------
+To install nailgun on Mac:
+
+```scala
+brew install nailgun
+```
+
+To start a background server:
+```scala
+$ brew install nailgun
+$ java -jar /usr/local/Cellar/nailgun/0.9.1/libexec/nailgun-server-0.9.1.jar
+NGServer 0.9.1 started on all interfaces, port 2113.
+```
+Add the required jars
+```scala
+$ ng ng-cp /usr/local/Cellar/scala/2.12.2/libexec/lib/scala-library.jar
+$ ng ng-cp s.jar
+```
-Build and Installation
+Linux Build and Installation
----------------------
+To install nailgun on Linux:
-Nailgun is a client, protocol, and server for running Java programs from
-the command line without incurring the JVM startup overhead.
+```scala
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install nailgun
+```
-Programs run in the server (which is implemented in Java), and are
-triggered by the client (written in C), which handles all I/O.
+Using maven, from the project directory:
+```scala
+mvn clean install
+```
-The server and examples are built using maven. From the project directory,
-"mvn clean install" will do it.
+The client is built using make. From the project directory, '
+```scala
+make && sudo make install
+```
+To create the windows client
+you will additionally need to
+```scala
+make ng.exe
+```
+---
+How to run a java program
+----------------------
+By default Nailgun server runs on port **2113**
-The client is built using make. From the project directory,
-"make && sudo make install" will do it. To create the windows client
-you will additionally need to "make ng.exe".
+Assume you have a file HelloWorld.class in
+```scala
+/home/28041/ng-sample/com/testrun/HelloWorld.class
+```
+run
+```scala
+ng ng-cp /home/28041/ng-sample
+ng com.testrun.HelloWorld
+```
