-Pure node.js (>= 16) implementation of [EBICS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Banking_Internet_Communication_Standard) (Electronic Banking Internet Communication).
+Pure Node.js (>= 16) implementation of [EBICS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Banking_Internet_Communication_Standard) (Electronic Banking Internet Communication).
 
 The client is aimed to be 100% [ISO 20022](https://www.iso20022.org) compliant, and supports the complete initializations process (INI, HIA, HPB orders) and HTML letter generation.
 
+## Usage
+
+For examples on how to use this library, take a look at the [examples](https://github.com/node-ebics/node-ebics-client/tree/master/examples).
+
+### A note on recent Node.js versions
+
+The latest Node.js versions don't support `RSA_PKCS1_PADDING` for private decryption for security reasons, throwing an error like _TypeError: RSA_PKCS1_PADDING is no longer supported for private decryption, this can be reverted with --security-revert=CVE-2023-46809_.
+
+EBICS requires this mode, so in order for this library to work, add the following parameter when starting Node.js: `--security-revert=CVE-2023-46809`
+
+### Initialization
+
+1. Create a configuration (see [example configs](https://github.com/node-ebics/node-ebics-client/tree/master/examples/config)) with the EBICS credentials you received from your bank and name it in this schema: `config.<environment>.<bank>[.<entity>].json` (the entity is optional).
+
+    - The fields `url`, `partnerId`, `userId`, `hostId` are provided by your bank.
+    - The `passphrase` is used to encrypt the keys file, which will be stored at the `storageLocation`.
+    - The `bankName` and `bankShortName` are used internally for creating files and identifying the bank to you.
+    - The `languageCode` is used when creating the Initialization Letter and can be either `de`, `en`, or `fr`.
+    - You can chose any environment, bank and, optionally, entity name. Entities are useful if you have multiple EBICS users for the same bank account.
+
+2. Run `node examples/initialize.js <environment> <bank> [entity]` to generate your key pair and perform the INI and HIA orders (ie. send the public keys to your bank)  
+   The generated keys are stored in the file specified in your config and encrypted with the specified passphrase.
+3. Run `node examples/bankLetter.js <environment> <bank> [entity]` to generate the Initialization Letter
+4. Print the letter, sign it and send it to your bank. Wait for them to activate your EBICS account.
+5. Download the bank keys by running `node examples/save-bank-keys.js <environment> <bank> [entity]`
+
+If all these steps were executed successfully, you can now do all things EBICS, like fetching bank statements by running `node examples/send-sta-order.js <environment> <bank> [entity]`, or actually use this library in your custom banking applications.
