+
+## Description
+
+This is a plugin to run the Python
+`[line_profiler](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/line_profiler>`
+from within the Python IDE `[Spyder](https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder).
+
+The code is an adaptation of the profiler plugin integrated in Spyder.
+
+## Installation
+
+To install this plugin, you can use either ``pip`` or ``conda`` package
+managers, as follows:
+
+Using conda (the recommended way!):
+
+```
+conda install spyder-line-profiler -c spyder-ide
+```
+
+Using pip:
+
+```
+pip install spyder-line-profiler
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Add a `@profile` decorator to the functions that you wish to profile then
+Shift+F10 (line profiler default) to run the profiler on the current script,
+or go to `Run > Profile line by line`.
+
+The results will be shown in a dockwidget, grouped by function. Lines with a
+stronger color take more time to run.
