+
+A tool for analyzing LLVM IR using the LLVM framework.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Windows
+1. Install LLVM:
+   ```batch
+   winget install LLVM
+   ```
+   Or download from [LLVM Releases](https://releases.llvm.org/)
+
+2. Either:
+   - Install LLVM to the default location (`C:/Program Files/LLVM`), or
+   - Set the `LLVM_DIR` environment variable to your LLVM installation path
+
+### macOS
+1. Install LLVM using Homebrew:
+   ```bash
+   brew install llvm
+   ```
+
+## Building the Project
+
+### Windows
+```batch
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake ..
+cmake --build .
+```
+
+### macOS
+```bash
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake ..
+make
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+The analyzer takes an LLVM IR file as input and provides analysis information:
+
+```bash
+./analyzer input.ll
+```
+
+To generate LLVM IR from C/C++ code:
+```bash
+clang -S -emit-llvm input.c -o output.ll
+```
