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
__version__, rather than looking for the string

-## Requirements
-### Python modules
-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`
+## Obtaining your Telegram `API ID` and `Hash`
+In order to use Telethon, you first need to obtain your very own 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.
-4. Click on `Create application` at the end. Now that you have the `API ID` and `Hash`,
-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).
+4. Click on `Create application` at the end.
+
+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
-`python3 tl_generator.py`. This will generate all the TLObjects from the given `scheme.tl` file.
-When it's done, you can run `python3 try_telethon.py` to start the interactive example.
+If you've installed Telethon via pip, launch an interactive python3 session and enter the following:
+```python
+>>> 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')
+
+┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│                      Initialization                       │
+└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+Initializing interactive example...
+Connecting to Telegram servers...
+>>> client.run()
+```
+
+
+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.

 If the changes weren't too big, everything should still work the same way as it did before; but with extra features.

-If everything works well, this probably ends up being a Python package :)
