+# Basic Memory Installation Guide for LLMs
+
+This guide is specifically designed to help AI assistants like Cline install and configure Basic Memory. Follow these
+steps in order.
+
+## Installation Steps
+
+### 1. Install Basic Memory Package
+
+Use one of the following package managers to install:
+
+```bash
+# Install with uv (recommended)
+uv tool install basic-memory
+
+# Or with pip
+pip install basic-memory
+```
+
+### 2. Configure MCP Server
+
+Add the following to your config:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "basic-memory": {
+      "command": "uvx",
+      "args": [
+        "basic-memory",
+        "mcp"
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+For Claude Desktop, this file is located at:
+
+macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
+Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
+
+### 3. Start Synchronization (optional)
+
+To synchronize files in real-time, run:
+
+```bash
+basic-memory sync --watch
+```
+
+Or for a one-time sync:
+
+```bash
+basic-memory sync
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### Custom Directory
+
+To use a directory other than the default `~/basic-memory`:
+
+```bash
+basic-memory project add custom-project /path/to/your/directory
+basic-memory project default custom-project
+```
+
+### Multiple Projects
+
+To manage multiple knowledge bases:
+
+```bash
+# List all projects
+basic-memory project list
+
+# Add a new project
+basic-memory project add work ~/work-basic-memory
+
+# Set default project
+basic-memory project default work
+```
+
+## Importing Existing Data
+
+### From Claude.ai
+
+```bash
+basic-memory import claude conversations path/to/conversations.json
+basic-memory import claude projects path/to/projects.json
+```
+
+### From ChatGPT
+
+```bash
+basic-memory import chatgpt path/to/conversations.json
+```
+
+### From MCP Memory Server
+
+```bash
+basic-memory import memory-json path/to/memory.json
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you encounter issues:
+
+1. Check that Basic Memory is properly installed:
+   ```bash
+   basic-memory --version
+   ```
+
+2. Verify the sync process is running:
+   ```bash
+   ps aux | grep basic-memory
+   ```
+
+3. Check sync output for errors:
+   ```bash
+   basic-memory sync --verbose
+   ```
+
+4. Check log output:
+   ```bash
+   cat ~/.basic-memory/basic-memory.log
+   ```
