+# How to use the compile.sh script
+
+The comiple.sh script compiles all .scss files without a _ in the beginning into .css files.
+
+These files will be compiled:
+
+    scrollbar.scss --> scrollbar.css
+         main.scss --> main.css
+
+and these will be ignored:
+
+        _lite.scss --!
+        _dark.scss --!
+
+## Windows
+To run the script under Windows you need to have bash installed and added to the PATH.
+If you have bash you can run the script by putting **bash** in front of the path to the .sh file you want to run.
+
+    cd <Absolute path to /styles>
+    bash ./compile.sh
+
+or:
+
+    bash <Absolute path to /styles>/compile.sh
+
+## Linux and MacOS
+To run the 
+
+    cd <Absolute path to /styles>
+    ./compile.sh
+
+or:
+
+    <Absolute path to /styles>/compile.sh
+
+## Usage
+
+    ./compile.sh [<options>]
+
+The following options are available:
+
+    -c, --compile  Compile all scss files.
+    -w, --watch    Watch scss files and recompile when they change.
+    -h, -?, --help Print usage information.
