+Installing Poezio
+=================
+
+
+.. important:: Python 3.2 or better is highly recommended, as we do not
+    officially support python 3.1 (although we do try to keep things running).
+
+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)
+- *Gentoo*: `Sekh’s overlay`_ contains everything required to build poezio
+    (sleekxmpp, dnspython, and poezio)
+- *Debian*: Use an other distro. (or make a package, we can provide help :) )
+
+(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 `stable sources`_, or fetch the development
+version (trunk), using git:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    git clone https://git.louiz.org/poezio
+
+.. note:: To clone the repo, which uses a self-signed certificated, you can
+    prefix the clone command with GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1.
+
+In order for poezio to correctly work, you need the libs SleekXMPP and
+ dnspython. You can install them by downloading it from the `SleekXMPP`_
+ page and the `dnspython`_ page , but you'll need the development
+ version of SleekXMPP. Alternatively, you can download poezio's sources
+ including SleekXMPP and dnspython, that's the easier way.
+
+""""""""""""
+Dependencies
+""""""""""""
+
+.. note:: If your python3 version is too old because of debian (e.g. < 3.2), you
+    should install the python3-argparse package if it exists, or use
+    pip3/virtualenvs to install it.
+
+If you want to install SleekXMPP and dnspython by yourself, use the following
+instructions. Else, go to the :ref:`next section <poezio-install-label>` (recommended).
+
+
+Download SleekXMPP
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    git clone git://github.com/fritzy/SleekXMPP.git
+
+Make sure you're using the develop branch by typing
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    cd SleekXMPP
+    git checkout develop
+
+Install SleekXMPP with
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    python3 setup.py build
+    su -c "python3 setup.py install"
+
+Install the dnspython3 package on your distribution or install it manually:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    wget -O dnspython.tgz http://www.dnspython.org/kits3/1.10.0/dnspython3-1.10.0.tar.gz
+    tar xvf dnspython.tgz
+    cd dnspython3-1.10.0
+
+And do the same again:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    python3 setup.py build
+    su -c "python3 setup.py install"
+
+.. _poezio-install-label:
+
+"""""""""""""""""""
+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:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    ./update.sh
+
+If you have git installed, it will download and update locally the
+ libraries for you. (and if you don’t have git installed, install it)
+
+
+If you don't want to install poezio but just test it (or keep a development
+ version), do:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    ./launch.sh
+
+To install poezio, do, as root (or sudo with ubuntu or whatever):
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    make install
+
+And then start it with:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    poezio
