+Install
+=======
+
+
+Poezio in the GNU/Linux distributions
+-------------------------------------
+
+As far as I know, Poezio is available in the following distributions, you just have to install it by using the package manager of the distribution, if you're using one of these.
+
+* *Archlinux*: A poezio and poezio-git packages are in AUR (use your favourite AUR wrapper to install them)
+* *Frugalware*: Just use pacmang-g2 to install the poezio package. (Thanks to its maintainer, Kooda)
+* *Debian*: Use an other distro.
+
+(If an other distribution provides a poezio package, please tell us and we will add it to the list)
+
+
+Install poezio from the sources
+-------------------------------
+
+You can download poezio's https://dev.louiz.org/project/poezio/download[stable sources] or fetch the development version (trunk), using git:
+============================
+git clone https://git.louiz.org/poezio
+============================
+
+In order for poezio to correctly work, you need the libs SleekXMPP and dnspython. You can install them by downloading it from the https://github.com/fritzy/SleekXMPP/[SleekXMPP] page and the http://www.dnspython.org/[dnspython] page , but you'll need the development versions. Alternatively, you can download poezio's sources including SleekXMPP and dnspython, that's the easier way.
+
+As for dnspython, you will have to use our python3 fork, or poke them to accept patches.
+
+=== Dependencies ===
+
+
+If you want to install SleekXMPP and dnspython yourself, follow these instructions. Else, go to the next section.
+
+
+Download SleekXMPP
+============================
+git clone git://github.com/louiz/SleekXMPP.git
+============================
+
+Make sure you're using the develop branch by typing
+============================
+cd SleekXMPP
+
+git checkout develop
+============================
+
+Install SleekXMPP with
+============================
+python3 setup.py build
+
+su -c "python3 setup.py install"
+============================
+
+Clone the repository at http://hg.louiz.org/dnspython (this is a fork, because upstream is unresponsive and didn’t fix an important bug).
+============================
+hg clone http://hg.louiz.org/dnspython
+
+cd dnspython
+============================
+
+And do the same again:
+============================
+python3 setup.py build
+
+su -c "python3 setup.py install"
+============================
+
+
+=== Poezio installation ===
+
+If you skipped the installation of the dependencies and you only want to test poezio without a system-wide install, do, in the _poezio_ directory:
+============================
+sh update.sh
+============================
+
+If you have git and hg installed, it will download and update locally the libraries for you.
+
+
+If you don't want to install poezio but just test it, do:
+============================
+ ./launch.sh
+============================
+
+
+To install poezio, do, as root (or sudo with ubuntu or whatever):
+============================
+make install
+============================
+
+And then start it with:
+============================
+poezio
+============================
+
