-Class to create MD5 checksum from file or string
+> Class to create MD5 checksum from file or string.
 
-<b>Example</b>
+## Example
+
+First clone the source code.
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/dnomd343/md5sum.git
+```
+
+Then create `main.cc` and write the following demo code.
 
 ```c++
+#include <string>
+#include <iostream>
+#include "md5sum.h"
+
+using namespace md5;
 
-#include "md5/md5.h"
-
-int main(int argc,char** argv){
-
-  char cstring[] = "Foo baz, testing.";
-  std::string str = cstring;
-
-  /* MD5 from std::string */
-  printf("md5sum: %s\n",  md5(  str ).c_str());
-  
-  /* MD5 from c-string */
-  printf("md5sum: %s\n",  md5(  cstring ).c_str());
-  
-  /* Short MD5 from c-string */
-  printf("md5sum6: %s\n", md5sum6( cstring ).c_str());
-  
-  /* Short MD5 from std::string */
-  printf("md5sum6: %s\n", md5sum6( str ).c_str());
-  
-  /* MD5 from filename */
-  printf("md5file: %s\n", md5file("README.md").c_str());
-  
-  /* MD5 from opened file */
-  std::FILE* file = std::fopen("README.md", "rb");
-  printf("md5file: %s\n", md5file(file).c_str());
-  std::fclose(file);
-
-  /* we're done */
-  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
+int main() {
+    std::string foo = "hello world";
+
+    /* MD5 from std::string */
+    std::cout << "md5sum: " << md5sum(foo) << std::endl;
+
+    /* MD5 from c-string */
+    std::cout << "md5sum: " << md5sum(foo.c_str(), foo.size()) << std::endl;
+
+    /* MD5 from filename */
+    std::cout << "md5file: " << md5file("md5sum/LICENSE") << std::endl;
+
+    /* MD5 from opened file */
+    std::FILE *file = std::fopen("md5sum/LICENSE", "rb");
+    std::cout << "md5file: " << md5file(file) << std::endl;
+    std::fclose(file);
 }
+```
 
+Compile them and run.
+
+```bash
+> g++ -std=c++0x -I./md5sum -o demo main.cc md5sum/*.cc
+> ./demo
+md5sum: 5eb63bbbe01eeed093cb22bb8f5acdc3
+md5sum: 5eb63bbbe01eeed093cb22bb8f5acdc3
+md5file: 4ab93db71092d8b54266f83575c1b9e1
+md5file: 4ab93db71092d8b54266f83575c1b9e1
+```
+
+A more elegant approach is to use cmake to compile, create `CMakeLists.txt` and write the following content.
+
+```cmake
+cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
+project(demo LANGUAGES CXX)
+set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
+
+include_directories(md5sum)
+add_subdirectory(md5sum EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)
+
+add_executable(demo main.cc)
+target_link_libraries(demo md5sum)
 ```
 
-<b>Compilation in g++</b>
+Using the following command to build and run.
+
+```bash
+> cmake -B ./cmake-build/
