-LoneStar is a simple program, written in Bash, to download and install [the
-Rakudo Star Perl 6 distribution](https://rakudo.org). As of the moment of
-writing this program, Rakudo Star Perl 6 binaries cannot easily be moved around
-on the OS, making regular installation methods more troublesome than they ought
-to be. To deal with the installation issue, I wrote LoneStar, to just take care
-of it. I chose to use Bash to ensure it can run on a wide range of GNU+Linux
-systems without much trouble.

-## Installation
-
-LoneStar is given a `Makefile` which can take care of installation. However, it
-does not _need_ to be installed if you just want to try it out first. I would
-recommend installation anyway, in order to make easy use of the `init`
-subcommand (which will update you `$PATH` to include the Perl 6 executables for
-you).
-
-You can clone the repo using git, and use `make` to install it:
-{% endmarkdown %}
-
-{% highlight sh %}
-cd "$(mktemp -d)"
-git clone https://gitlab.com/tyil/lonestar .
-make DESTDIR=/usr/local install
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-{% markdown %}
-Some shells will require you to _rehash the $PATH_. On Bash, this is done
-using `hash -r`. Zsh users should run `rehash`. Other shell users may have to
-consult their respective shell's manual. With newer shells, this is oftentimes
-not necessary, though.
-
-## Usage
-
-You can invoke `lonestar` without any parameters to get a list of subcommands
-it will accept, together with optional parameters. To just get the latest
-Rakudo Star Perl 6 distribution installed, use the `install` subcommand.
-{% endmarkdown %}
-
-{% highlight sh %}
-lonestar install
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-{% markdown %}
-Once it has been installed, you can update your `$PATH` with `init`.
-{% endmarkdown %}
-
-{% highlight sh %}
-eval $(lonestar init)
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-{% markdown %}
-This will make sure the directory containing the `perl6` program will be
-searched whenever you want to run a Perl 6 program. It also includes the
-directory that contains all executable modules that have been installed.
-Consequentally, this will make the module installer `zef` available to you.
-
-You can confirm whether Perl 6 works by retrieving the current version.
-{% endmarkdown %}
-
-{% highlight sh %}
-perl6 --version
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-If this command did not fail, you should be good to go!
