+apt-layer Installation Script
+
+This script installs the apt-layer tool, its dependencies, creates necessary directories and files,
+and sets up the system to use apt-layer.
+
+Usage:
+  ./install-apt-layer.sh                    # Install or update apt-layer
+  ./install-apt-layer.sh --uninstall        # Remove apt-layer and all its files
+  ./install-apt-layer.sh --reinstall        # Remove and reinstall (reset to default state)
+  ./install-apt-layer.sh --help             # Show this help message
+
+What this script does:
+  - Downloads the latest apt-layer.sh from the repository
+  - Installs required dependencies (jq, dos2unix, etc.)
+  - Creates necessary directories (/var/lib/apt-layer, /var/log/apt-layer, etc.)
+  - Sets up configuration files
+  - Makes apt-layer executable and available system-wide
+  - Initializes the apt-layer system
+
+Dependencies:
+  - curl or wget (for downloading)
+  - jq (for JSON processing)
+  - dos2unix (for Windows line ending conversion)
+  - sudo (for system installation)
