+KVM4NFV CICD Installation Instruction
+=====================================
+
+Preparing the installation
+--------------------------
+
+The OPNFV project- KVM4NFV (https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/kvmfornfv.git) is
+cloned first, to make the build scripts for Qemu & Kernel, Rpms and Debians
+available.
+
+HW requirements
+---------------
+
+These build scripts are triggered on the Jenkins-Slave build server. Currently
+Intel POD1 is used as test environment for kvmfornfv to execute cyclictest. As
+part of this test environment Intel pod1-jump is configured as jenkins slave
+and all the latest build artifacts are downloaded on to it. Intel pod1-node1
+is the host on which a guest vm will be launched as a part of running cylictest
+through yardstick.
+
+Build instructions
+------------------
+
+Builds are possible for the following packages-
+
+**kvmfornfv source code**- The ./ci/build.sh is the main script used to trigger
+the Rpms (on 'centos') and Debians (on 'ubuntu') builds in this case.
+
+* How to build Kernel/Qemu Rpms- To build rpm packages, build.sh script is run
+  with -p and -o option (i.e. if -p package option is  passed as "centos" or in
+  default case). Example: sh ./ci/build.sh -p centos -o build_output
+
+* How to build Kernel/Qemu Debians- To build debian packages, build.sh script
+  is run with -p and -o option (i.e. if -p package option is  passed as
+  "ubuntu"). Example: sh ./ci/build.sh -p ubuntu -o build_output
+
+* How to build all Kernel & Qemu, Rpms & Debians- To build both debian and rpm
+  packages, build.sh script is run with -p and -o option (i.e. if -p package
+  option is passed as "both"). Example: sh ./ci/build.sh -p both -o build_output
+
+Installation instructions
+-------------------------
+
+Installation can be done in the following ways-
+
+**1. From kvmfornfv source code**-
+The build packages that are prepared in the above section, are installed
+differently depending on the platform.
+
+Please visit the links for each-
+
+* Centos : https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-rpm-using.html
+* Ubuntu : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware
+
+Test the built packages by executing the scripts present in ci/envs for
+configuring host and guest respectively. Once the setup is in place, cyclictest
+is performed via yardtick, using ./ci/test_kvmfornfv.sh
+
+**2. Using Fuel installer**-
+
+* Please refer to the document present at /fuel-plugin/README.md
+
+Post-installation activities
+----------------------------
+
+After the rpm and debian builds are deployed successfully on the host-guest and
+give the expected cyclictest results, jenkins gives +1 to indicate the
+completion of verify process. Thereafter, the releng executes the merge process
+to merge this code into parent repository.
