+
+# Installation
+
+Jamdict is available on PyPI at [https://pypi.org/project/jamdict/](https://pypi.org/project/jamdict/) and can be installed using pip command
+
 ```bash
 pip install jamdict
 # pip script sometimes doesn't work properly, so you may want to try this instead
 python3 -m pip install jamdict
+```
 
-# initial setup (this command will create ~/.jamdict for you
-# it will also tell you where to copy the data files
-python3 -m jamdict.tools info
+## Install data file
+
+1. Download the offical, pre-compiled jamdict database (`jamdict-0.1a7.tar.xz`) from Google Drive [https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1z4zF9ImZlNeTZZplflvvnpZfJp3WVLPk](https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1z4zF9ImZlNeTZZplflvvnpZfJp3WVLPk)
+2. Extract and copy `jamdict.db` to jamdict data folder (defaulted to `~/.jamdict/data/jamdict.db`)
+3. To know where to copy data files
+
+   ```bash
+   # initial setup (this command will create ~/.jamdict for you
+   # it will also tell you where to copy the data files
+   python3 -m jamdict info
+   # Jamdict 0.1a7
+   # Python library for manipulating Jim Breen's JMdict, KanjiDic2, KRADFILE and JMnedict
+   # 
+   # Basic configuration
+   # ------------------------------------------------------------
+   # JAMDICT_HOME        : /home/tuananh/.jamdict
+   # Config file location: /home/tuananh/.jamdict/config.json
+   # 
+   # Data files
+   # ------------------------------------------------------------
+   # Jamdict DB location: /home/tuananh/.jamdict/data/jamdict.db - [OK]
+   # JMDict XML file    : /home/tuananh/.jamdict/data/JMdict_e.gz - [OK]
+   # KanjiDic2 XML file : /home/tuananh/.jamdict/data/kanjidic2.xml.gz - [OK]
+   # JMnedict XML file : /home/tuananh/.jamdict/data/JMnedict.xml.gz - [OK]
+   ```
+
+## Command line tools
+
+To make sure that jamdict is configured properly, try to look up a word using command line
 
-# to look up a word using command line

+## Using KRAD/RADK mapping
+
+Jamdict has built-in support for KRAD/RADK (i.e. kanji-radical and radical-kanji mapping).
+The terminology of radicals/components used by Jamdict can be different from else where.
+
+- A radical in Jamdict is a principal component, each character has only one radical.
+- A character may be decomposed into several writing components.
 
+By default jamdict provides two maps:
 
-# Sample codes
+- jmd.krad is a Python dict that maps characters to list of components.
+- jmd.radk is a Python dict that maps each available components to a list of characters.
 
 ```python
->>> from jamdict import Jamdict
->>> jmd = Jamdict()
-# use wildcard matching to find anything starts with 食べ and ends with る
->>> result = jmd.lookup('食べ%る')
-# print all found word entries
->>> for entry in result.entries:
-...     print(entry)
-...

+
+## Finding name entities
+
+```bash

+result = jmd.lookup('%鈴木%')
+for name in result.names:
+    print(name)
+
+# [id#5025685] キューティーすずき (キューティー鈴木) : Kyu-ti- Suzuki (1969.10-) (full name of a particular person)

+
+## Exact matching
+

+
+```python
