-Source
-======
+LinPy requires Python version 3.4 or above to work.
 
-Users can install LinPy by cloning the git repository::
+LinPy's one mandatory dependency is `isl <http://isl.gforge.inria.fr/>`_ version 0.12 or 0.13 (it may work with other versions of isl, but this has not been tested).
+isl can be downloaded `here <http://freshmeat.net/projects/isl/>`_ or preferably, using your favorite package manager.
+For Debian or Ubuntu, the command to run is::
 
-	git clone https://scm.cri.ensmp.fr/git/pypol.git
+    sudo apt-get install libisl-dev
 
-Install
-=======
+For Arch Linux, run::
 
-…execute `setup.py`
+    sudo pacman -S isl
+
+Apart from isl, there are two optional dependencies that will maximize the use of LinPy's functions: `SymPy <http://sympy.org/en/index.html>`_ and `matplotlib <http://matplotlib.org/>`_.
+Please consult the `SymPy download page <http://sympy.org/en/download.html>`_ and `matplotlib installation instructions <http://matplotlib.org/faq/installing_faq.html#how-to-install>`_ to install these libraries.
