Description
**🆕🐥🐶 First Timers Only**
This issue is reserved for people who never contributed to Open Source before. We know that the process of creating a pull request is the biggest barrier for new contributors. This issue is for you 💝
**👾 Description of the issue**
IcedTea-Web can be installed and used in 3 different ways:
- When installing AdoptOpenJDK 8 on Windows IcedTea-Web can be selected in the installer
- When installing OpenWebStart IcedTea-Web is used internally
- IcedTea-Web can be installed as a standalone tool.
We need a short guide in markdown or asciidoc (installation.md) that gives an overview on all 3 possibilities. The [current documentation](https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/IcedTea-Web/blob/master/INSTALL) is totally outdated. It contains some information about the usage as a standalone tool and when having it installed together with AdoptOpenJDK but some information are just wrong. Therefore it would be the best to start from scratch with a new documentation.
