Updated README, minor changes and pip ready

The module is now ready to be installed via pip
README.md has been updated to reflect these changes
Minor changes to the interactive client example
Versioning is now done by editting TelegramClient's

-## Requirements
+## Obtaining your Telegram `API ID` and `Hash`
-### Python modules
+In order to use Telethon, you first need to obtain your very own API ID and Hash:
-This project requires the following Python modules, which can be installed by issuing `sudo -H pip3 install <module>` on a
-Linux terminal:
-- `pyaes` ([GitHub](https://github.com/ricmoo/pyaes), [package index](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyaes))
-
-### Obtaining your `API ID` and `Hash`
 1. Follow [this link](https://my.telegram.org) and login with your phone number.
 2. Click under `API Development tools`.
 3. A `Create new application` window will appear. Fill in your application details.
 There is no need to enter any `URL`, and only the first two fields (`App title` and `Short name`)
 can be changed later as long as I'm aware.

-head to `api/` directory and create a copy of the `settings_example` file, naming it `settings` (lowercase!).
+
-Then fill the file with the corresponding values (your `api_id`, `api_hash` and phone number in international format).
+Now that you know your `API ID` and `Hash`, you can continue installing Telethon.
+
+## Installing Telethon
+### Installing Telethon via `pip`
+On a terminal, issue the following command:
+```sh
+sudo -H pip install telethon
+```
+
+You're ready to go.
+
+### Installing Telethon manually
+1. Install the required `pyaes` module: `sudo -H pip install pyaes`
+   ([GitHub](https://github.com/ricmoo/pyaes), [package index](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyaes))
+2. Clone Telethon's GitHub repository: `git clone https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon.git`
+3. Enter the cloned repository: `cd Telethon`
+4. Run the code generator: `python3 telethon_generator/tl_generator.py`
+5. Done!
 
 ## Running Telethon
-First of all, you need to run the `tl_generator.py` (located under `telethon-generator/`) by issuing
+If you've installed Telethon via pip, launch an interactive python3 session and enter the following:
-`python3 tl_generator.py`. This will generate all the TLObjects from the given `scheme.tl` file.
+```python
-When it's done, you can run `python3 try_telethon.py` to start the interactive example.
+>>> from telethon import InteractiveTelegramClient
+>>> # 'sessionid' can be 'yourname'. It'll be saved as yourname.session
+>>> # Also (obviously) replace the api_id and api_hash with your values
+...
+>>> client = InteractiveTelegramClient('sessionid', '+34600000000',
+...     api_id=12345, api_hash='0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef')

+
+
+If, on the other hand, you've installed Telethon manually, head to the `api/` directory and create a
+copy of the `settings_example` file, naming it `settings` (lowercase!). Then fill the file with the
+corresponding values (your `api_id`, `api_hash` and phone number in international format).
+
+Then, simply run `python3 try_telethon.py` to start the interactive example.
