+Description: Emacs incremental completion and selection narrowing framework
+ Helm is incremental completion and selection narrowing framework for
+ Emacs. It will help steer you in the right direction when you're
+ looking for stuff in Emacs (like buffers, files, etc).
+ .
+ Helm is a fork of anything.el originally written by Tamas Patrovic and
+ can be considered to be its successor. Helm sets out to clean up the
+ legacy code in anything.el and provide a cleaner, leaner and more
+ modular tool, that's not tied in the trap of backward compatibility.

+-## Quick install from git
+-

+-    ```
+-  3. Run `make` from the `helm` directory.
+-  
+-  3. Add to `.emacs.el` (or equivalent):
+-
+-    ```elisp
+-    ;; If async is installed
+-    (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/async/directory")
+-    
+-    (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/helm/directory")
+-    (require 'helm-config)
+-    ```
+-    
+-_NOTE:_ Installing helm using git and make is the safest way.
+-
+-To quickly run `helm`, launch this script from helm directory:
+-
+-`./emacs-helm.sh`
+-
+-Also use the same script above for bug reporting.
+-
+-_NOTE:_ This script does not work on Windows systems.
+-
+-## Install from Emacs packaging system
+-
+-Helm can also be installed from MELPA repository at http://melpa.org/.
+-You will find the instructions to install packages from MELPA [here](https://github.com/melpa/melpa#usage).
+-
+-No further configuration is necessary to run helm other than perhaps a
+-one-line entry in the Emacs init file:
+-
+-```elisp
+-(require 'helm-config)
+-```
+-
+-_WARNING:_ Helm upgrades from MELPA repository encountered errors
+-because of the way package.el fetched and compiled updates for
+-existing packages. To get around these errors, Helm adds
+-[Async](https://github.com/jwiegley/emacs-async) as a dependency
+-package install. Async forces compilation in a clean environment,
+-which solves those compilation errors. Since async has other benefits
+-as well, both for Helm and other packages, we recommend installing
+-async even for Helm installs using git. See
+-[FAQ](https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm/wiki#faq) for details.
+-
+-_Note:_ Restart Emacs for Helm updates from MELPA repositories to take
+-effect.
+-
+-**Note to Linux Distributions Maintainers**
+-
+-`Only the extensions in the github emacs-helm repository are supported.`
+-
+-## Debian and Ubuntu
+-
+-Users of Debian 9 or later or Ubuntu 16.04 or later may simply
+-`apt-get install elpa-helm` (or `apt-get install elpa-helm-core`; see
+-below).
+-
+-## Installing just the helm-core package
+-
+-`helm-core` package is available on [MELPA](http://melpa.org/) for
+-third party packages that depend on helm libraries. These packages
+-should require helm as follows:
+-
+-     (require 'helm)
+-
+-Requiring helm builds and runs helm code necessary for multiple regexp
+-and fuzzy matching. See
+-[helm wiki](https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm/wiki#developpingusinghelmframework)
+-for details.
+-
+-## Warning about alternate installation methods
+-    
+-Installation methods that circumvent `helm-config` are known to fail
+-if the careful safeguards are not implemented in the hacks.
