+Mailstache for Check_MK
+=======================
+
+Unpack everything to your OMD site's "local" directory so that the final structure is like this:
+
+```
+.../sites/YOURSITE
+           `-local
+               |-lib
+               |   |-external
+               |   |   `-pystache (dir)
+               |   `-python
+               |       `-pystache (Symlink)
+               `-share
+                   `-check_mk
+                       `-notifications
+                           |-mailstache_templates
+                           |   |-foot_html.mustache
+                           |   |-head_html.mustache
+                           |   |-host_html.mustache
+                           |   |-host_subject.mustache
+                           |   |-host_txt.mustache
+                           |   |-service_html.mustache
+                           |   |-service.subject.mustache
+                           |   `-service_txt.mustache
+                           `-mailstache (executable)
+```
+
+If you are using Check_MK without OMD, the directories may differ. You may also have to modify the `mailstache` script accordingly.
