+Galaxy wrapper for RDPTools
+===========================
+
+RDPTols is an open source command-line tool suite for performing a complete 
+workflow of analysis tasks of NGS data. For more information, check the 
+[Github repository](https://github.com/rdpstaff/RDPTools)
+
+# Installation
+
+## Automated installation
+
+On a Galaxy instance, the wrappers can be automatically installed using the 
+ToolShed. This will automatically install the dependencies, configure the Galaxy
+instance for the tools and data, ...
+
+## Manual installation
+
+For manual installation, the `.xml` files must be put in the `tools/rdptools/`
+ folder and add the XML files to Galaxy's `tool_conf.xml` (in `config` folder) as 
+normal:
+
+```
+<section name="RDPTools" id="rdptools">
+    <tool file="rdptools/framebot.xml" />
+</section>
+```
+
+The database must also be referenced in Galaxy. The files in `tool-data/`
+must be copied in Galaxy's `tool-data` folder. And Galaxy's `config/tool_data_table_conf.xml.sample`
+have to be completed:
+
+```
+!-- Locations of public ribosomal databases -->
+<table name="framebot_ref_gene_databases" comment_char="#">
+    <columns>value, name, path</columns>
+    <file path="tool-data/framebot_ref_gene_databases.loc" />
+</table>
+```
+
+RDPTools must be installed somewhere on the system path. It can be done using:
+
+```
+planemo dependency_script ~/repositories/galaxytools/packages/package_ant_1_9_6/
+bash dep_install.sh
+source env.sh
+
+planemo dependency_script ~/repositories/galaxytools/tools/rdptools/
+bash dep_install.sh
+source env.sh
+```
+
+To test the Galaxy integration, the functional tests can be runned:
+
+```
