 # Bonsai - Harp Library
 
-Bonsai Library containing interfaces for data acquisition and control of devices implementing the Harp protocol.
+Bonsai.Harp is the [Bonsai](https://bonsai-rx.org/) reference implementation of the [Harp](https://harp-tech.org/) protocol. It also provides shared core functionality for the high-level device interfaces in the [Harp ecosystem](https://github.com/harp-tech).
+
+The Harp ecosystem allows extending experimental setup hardware functionality with integrated timestamp synchronisation across devices.
+
+## How to install

+Bonsai.Harp can be installed directly through the Bonsai package manager. In order to get editor and firmware update support, you should download both the `Bonsai.Harp` and `Bonsai.Harp.Design` packages.
