+# Note: This file, and files beginning with ".", and files that don't end in ".yml" will not be read. If you change this file, you will look really dumb.
+#
+# Your changelog will be merged with a master changelog. (New stuff added only, and only on the date entry for the day it was merged.)
+# When it is, any changes listed below will disappear.
+#
+# Valid Prefixes: 
+#   bugfix
+#   wip (For works in progress)
+#   tweak
+#   soundadd
+#   sounddel
+#   rscadd (general adding of nice things)
+#   rscdel (general deleting of nice things)
+#   imageadd

+Taken mostly from https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Guide_to_Changelogs#Updating_the_Changelog with a few changes.
+
+First, install Python 2.7. Yes, it's outdated, but that's what the script is made to work with.
+Make sure that Python 2.7 and its Scripts/ folder is in PATH
+Upgrade pip, as outlined here https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/
+Once pip is installed, you will need to run two commands from your terminal or command prompt to install packages
+1. 'pip install PyYaml'
+2. 'pip install beautifulsoup4'
+
+Once all this is done, you should just be able to run ss13_genchangelog.py and sit back.
+
+If you get errors running it, two things are possible.
+1. You installed something wrong.
+2. Someone formatted their changelog wrong.
+Check where the error was, do a bit of troubleshooting, see if it wasn't #2. Fixing the syntax in the yaml files is pretty simple.
