+# Preconditions
+
+## Entities
+Create one New Relic entity for each environment. Current setup assumes one entity for "development", "staging" and "production" environments. For example, if your app name is "rails_api_base", it expects to have "rails_api_base - development" entity for dev.
+
+## Slack
+Set up the Slack integration from [New Relic](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/alerts/get-notified/notification-integrations/). You will need to replace `slack_destination_id` local variable with the id generated by the integration, and `slack_channel_id` with the channel id where you want to send notifications.
+
+# Installation
+
+Follow the [Terraform installation docs](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/tutorials/aws-get-started/install-cli) to install Terraform CLI.
+
+## Environment variables
+Make sure you copy the `.env.sample` file into `.env` and fill all the variables.
+
+## Usage
+
+There are only three commands that need to be run in order to apply this terraform template and fully setup your New Relic monitoring.
+
+```bash
+# Init
+terraform init
+
+# Plan
+terraform plan
+
+# Apply
+terraform apply
+```
+
+# Docker usage
+
+If you want to use Docker to avoid installing Terraform, we recommend to use one of the latest versions of the Dockerfile.
+
+```bash
+# Init
+docker run -w /app -v .:/app --env-file .env -it hashicorp/terraform:latest init
+
+# Plan
+docker run -w /app -v .:/app --env-file .env -it hashicorp/terraform:latest plan
+
+# Apply
+docker run -w /app -v .:/app --env-file .env -it hashicorp/terraform:latest apply
+```
