+## Installation
+On most linux distros with CPython 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, or 3.7, sfpy should work out of the box:
+
+```
+pip install sfpy
+```
+
+Under the hood, sfpy uses Cython to create bindings for the softposit and softfloat C libraries.
+The building instructions are tested on Ubuntu 16.04 - for other platforms they may need some
+adaptation.
