+Installing Python-Markdown
+==========================
+
+Checking Dependencies
+---------------------
+
+Python-Markdown requires the ElementTree module to be installed. In Python2.5+ 
+ElementTree is included as part of the standard library. For earlier versions 
+of Python, open a Python shell and type the following:
+
+    >>> import cElementTree
+    >>> import ElementTree
+
+If at least one of those does not generate any errors, then you have a working
+copy of ElementTree installed on your system. As cElementTree is faster, you
+may want to install that if you don't already have it and it's available for 
+your system.
+
+See <http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm> for more information or to 
+download the latest version of ElementTree.
+
+The East Way
+------------
+
+The simplest way to install Python-Markdown is by using SetupTools. As and
+Admin/Root user on your system do:
+
+    easy_install ElementTree
+    easy_install Markdown
+
+That's it, your done.
+
+Installing on Windows
+---------------------
+
+Download the Windows installer (.exe) from PyPI: 
+<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Markdown>
+
+Double-click the file and follow the instructions.
+
+If you prefer to manually install Python-Markdown in Windows, download the
+Zip file, unzip it, and on the command line in the directory you unzipped to:
+
+    python setup.py install
+
+If you plan to use the provided command line script, you need to make sure your
+script directory is on your system path. On a typical Python install of Windows
+the Scripts directory is `C:\Python25\Scripts\`. Adjust according to your 
+system and add that to your system path.
