+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You

+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and

+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,

+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

 # pallet-segmenter
 An experimental Forklift pallet for running the PlanktoScope's segmenter separately on a computer
+
+## Introduction
+
+pallet-segmenter is a [Forklift](https://github.com/PlanktoScope/forklift) pallet
+specifying a configuration of Forklift package deployments for running the PlanktoScope segmenter on
+any Docker host.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+You will need to have the Docker Engine installed on your computer. Installation instructions are
+available [here](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
+
+Then, you will set up the [`forklift`](https://github.com/PlanktoScope/forklift) tool on your
+computer. Setup instructions are available
+[here](https://github.com/PlanktoScope/forklift?tab=readme-ov-file#downloadinstall-forklift). Note
+that currently `forklift` is only tested and built for Linux computers.
+
+### Deployment
+
+You can clone the latest commit of this Forklift pallet to your computer, by
+using the `forklift` tool:
+```
+forklift plt clone github.com/PlanktoScope/pallet-segmenter@main
+```
+
+Then you can apply the cloned pallet on your computer using the following sequence of `forklift`
+CLI commands:
+```
+forklift plt cache-repo
+sudo -E forklift plt apply
+```
+
+Warning: this will replace all Docker containers on your Docker host with the package deployments
+specified by this pallet and delete any Docker containers not specified by this pallet's package
+deployments.
+
+If your user is [in the `docker` group](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/#manage-docker-as-a-non-root-user)
+(so that you don't need to use `sudo` when running `docker`
+commands), then you can just run a single command instead of the two the commands listed above:
+
+```
+forklift plt switch github.com/PlanktoScope/pallet-segmenter@main
+```
+
+Then you can access the Node-RED dashboard from your web browser at
+<http://localhost:1880/ui>, or you can programmatically interact with the segmenter over MQTT via
+<mqtt://localhost:1883> (e.g. using [github.com/PlanktoScope/cli](https://github.com/PlanktoScope/cli)).
+You can also access the Node-RED dashboard editor from your web browser at <http://localhost:1880/admin>.
+
+The segmenter loads input datasets - and saves output files - in `~/.local/share/planktoscope/data`,
+instead of the usual path on PlanktoScopes (`/home/pi/data`). Similarly, logs are saved in
+`~/.local/share/planktoscope/device-backend-logs` instead of `/home/pi/device-backend-logs`.
+The simplest way to add input datasets and download EcoTaxa export archives (working around issues
+with file permissions between your user account and the `root` user used for running the segmenter)
+will be to use the filebrowser in your web browser, at <http://localhost:9000>.
+
+### Forking
+
+To make your own copy of this repository for experimentation, you should fork this repository to a
+new repository. Then, update the `path` fields of the `forklift-pallet.yml` and
+`forklift-repository.yml` files to match the path of your new repository.
+
+## Licensing
+
+Forklift packages deployed by this pallet have their own software licenses, as specified in the
+Forklift repositories where those packages are published. Any source code provided with this
+Forklift pallet is covered by the following information, except where otherwise indicated:
+
+Copyright Ethan Li and PlanktoScope project contributors
+
+SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0 OR BlueOak-1.0.0
+
+You can use the source code provided here either under the
+[Apache 2.0 License](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0)
+or under the [Blue Oak Model License 1.0.0](https://blueoakcouncil.org/license/1.0.0);
+you get to decide. We are making the software available under the Apache license because it's
+[OSI-approved](https://writing.kemitchell.com/2019/05/05/Rely-on-OSI.html),
+but we like the Blue Oak Model License more because it's easier to read and understand.
