"How to install" information missing from help file #1526

After downloading the ZIP file and unzipping it, and looking for a readme file, I opened the only obvious choice which was "DeDRM_Help.htm". It has a section on installation, but it only says "You have obviously managed to install the plugin, as otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this help file." Not really helpful :-) I assume the author of this document assumed that this document would only be accessible to people who have successfully installed the plugin.

I suggest you add a readme.txt file to the distribution with the text "How to install. In Calibre, go to Preferences > Plugins > Load Plugin from File. Afterwards, click Apply, and then restart Calibre. Requires Calibre 5."

If you're talking about one of the pre-release betas, it is the DeDRM plugin only. Don't unzip it. Install the whole file. The complete releases have readmes. Here's the one with install instuctions.
