+## Install
+
+_This plugin requires a Rust version of at least **1.65**_
+
+There are three general methods of installation that we can recommend.
+
+1. Use crates.io and npm (easiest, and requires you to trust that our publishing pipeline worked)
+2. Pull sources directly from Github using git tags / revision hashes (most secure)
+3. Git submodule install this repo in your tauri project and then use file protocol to ingest the source (most secure, but inconvenient to use)
+
+Install the Core plugin by adding the following to your `Cargo.toml` file:
+
+`src-tauri/Cargo.toml`
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+tauri-plugin-biometric = "2.0.0-alpha"
+# alternatively with Git:
+tauri-plugin-biometric = { git = "https://github.com/tauri-apps/plugins-workspace", branch = "v2" }
+```
+
+You can install the JavaScript Guest bindings using your preferred JavaScript package manager:
+
+> Note: Since most JavaScript package managers are unable to install packages from git monorepos we provide read-only mirrors of each plugin. This makes installation option 2 more ergonomic to use.
+
+
+
+```sh
+pnpm add @tauri-apps/plugin-biometric
+# or
+npm add @tauri-apps/plugin-biometric
+# or
+yarn add @tauri-apps/plugin-biometric
+
+# alternatively with Git:
+pnpm add https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri-plugin-biometric#v2
+# or
+npm add https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri-plugin-biometric#v2
+# or
+yarn add https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri-plugin-biometric#v2
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+First you need to register the core plugin with Tauri:
+
+`src-tauri/src/main.rs`
+
+```rust
+fn main() {
+ tauri::Builder::default()
+ .plugin(tauri_plugin_biometric::init())
+ .run(tauri::generate_context!())
+ .expect("error while running tauri application");
+}
+```
+
+Afterwards all the plugin's APIs are available through the JavaScript guest bindings:
+
+```javascript
+import { authenticate } from "@tauri-apps/plugin-biometric";
+await authenticate('Open your wallet');
+```
