+# Setup Sprout on Alpine Edge
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Alpine Edge
+- EFI System Partition mounted on `/boot/efi` (the default)
+- ext4 or FAT32/exFAT formatted `/boot` partition
+
+## Step 1: Base Installation
+
+Download the latest sprout.efi release from the [GitHub releases page](https://github.com/edera-dev/sprout/releases).
+For x86_64 systems, download the `sprout-x86_64.efi` file, and for ARM systems, download the `sprout-aarch64.efi` file.
+Copy the downloaded `sprout.efi` file to `/boot/efi/EFI/boot/sprout.efi` on your EFI System Partition.
+
+Additionally, you will want to install the `efifs` package, which provides the filesystem support for Sprout.
+
+```bash
+# Install the efifs package which provides filesystem support for Sprout.
+$ apk install efifs
+```
+
+## Step 2: Configure Sprout
+
+Since Alpine uses standard image paths based on the `linux` package installed, it's quite easy to configure Sprout
+to boot Alpine.
+
+Write the following file to `/boot/efi/sprout.toml`:
+
+```toml
+# sprout configuration: version 1
+version = 1
+
+# load an EFI driver for ext2/ext3/ext4.
+[drivers.ext2]
+path = "\\EFI\\efifs\\ext2.efi"
+
+# extract the full path of the first filesystem
+# that contains \boot\vmlinuz-stable as a file
+# into the value called "root"
+[extractors.root.filesystem-device-match]
+has-item = "\\boot\\vmlinuz-stable"
+
+# add a boot entry for booting linux
+# which will run the boot-linux action.
+[entries.boot-linux-stable]
+title = "Boot Linux Stable"
+actions = ["boot-linux-stable"]
+
+# use the chainload action to boot linux-stable via the efi stub.
+# the options below are passed to the efi stub as the
+# kernel command line. the initrd is loaded using the efi stub
+# initrd loader mechanism.
+[actions.boot-linux-stable]
+chainload.path = "$root\\boot\\vmlinuz-stable"
+chainload.options = ["root=/dev/sda1", "my-kernel-option"]
+chainload.linux-initrd = "$root\\boot\\initramfs-stable"
+```
+
+You can replace `vmlinuz-stable` and `initramfs-stable` with the actual
+files for the `linux` package you have installed. For example, for `linux-lts` it is `vmlinuz-lts` and `initramfs-lts`.
+
+## Step 3, Option 1: Configure GRUB to load Sprout (recommended)
+
+You can configure GRUB to add a boot entry for Sprout, so you can continue to use GRUB without interruption.
+
+GRUB needs to be configured with the chainloader module to load Sprout.
+
+You will need to find the UUID of your EFI System Partition. You can do this by running the following command:
+```bash
+$ grep "/boot/efi" /etc/fstab | awk '{print $1}' | awk -F '=' '{print $2}'
+SAMPLE-VALUE
+```
+
+The GRUB configuration for Sprout is as follows, replace `SAMPLE-VALUE` with the UUID of your EFI System Partition:
+
+```grub
+menuentry 'Sprout' $menuentry_id_option 'sprout' {
+        insmod part_gpt
+        insmod fat
+        insmod chain
+        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root SAMPLE-VALUE
+        chainloader /EFI/boot/sprout.efi
+}
+```
+
+You can append this to `/etc/grub.d/40_custom` and run the following command to update your configuration:
+```bash
+$ update-grub
+```
+
+To update your GRUB configuration.
+
+You may now reboot your system and select Sprout from the GRUB menu.
+
+## Step 3, Option 2: Configure your EFI firmware for Sprout
+
+You can configure your EFI boot menu to show Sprout as an option.
+
+You will need to install the `efibootmgr` package:
+
+```
+$ apk add efibootmgr
+```
+
+Once `efibootmgr` is installed, find the partition device of your EFI System Partition and run the following:
+
+```bash
+$ efibootmgr -d /dev/esp_partition_here -C -L 'Sprout' -l '\EFI\boot\sprout.efi'
+```
+
+This will add a new entry to your EFI boot menu called `Sprout` that will boot Sprout with your configuration.
+
+Now if you boot into your UEFI firmware, you should see Sprout as an option to boot.
