+Voltron installer script.
+
+This script will attempt to find GDB/LLDB, infer the correct Python to use, and
+install Voltron. By default it will attempt to detect a single version of each
+GDB  and LLDB, and will install into the user's site-packages directory. The
+options below can be used to change this behaviour.
+
+Usage: ./install.sh [ -s -d -S ] [ -v virtualenv ] [ -b BACKEND ]
+  -s            Install to system's site-packages directory
+  -d            Install in developer mode (-e flag passed to pip)
+  -v venv       Install into a virtualenv (only for LLDB)
+  -b debugger   Select debugger backend ("", "gdb", "lldb", or "gdb,lldb") for
+                which to install
+  -S            Skip package manager (apt/yum) update
