 Installation
-------------
+============
 
 Dependencies
-============
+------------
+
+LinPy requires Python version 3.4 or above to work.
+
+LinPy's one mandatory dependency is isl 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 distribution's package manager.
+For Ubuntu, the command to run is::
+
+    sudo apt-get install libisl-dev
+
+For Arch Linux, run::
 
-Users will first need to install Integer Set Library (isl). The source files of isl are available as a tarball or a git repository. Both
-are available `here`_ .  
+    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.
