+Download and installation
+=========================
+
+The current release is version |version|.
+
+Packaged versions
+-----------------
+
+You can download it `from the Python Package Index
+<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pygments>`_. For installation of packages from
+PyPI, we recommend `Pip <https://www.pip-installer.org>`_, which works on all
+major platforms.
+
+Under Linux, most distributions include a package for Pygments, usually called
+``pygments`` or ``python-pygments``. You can install it with the package
+manager as usual.
+
+Development sources
+-------------------
+
+We're using the Git version control system. You can get the development source
+using this command::
+
+ git clone https://github.com/pygments/pygments
+
+Development takes place at `GitHub <https://github.com/pygments/pygments>`_.
+
+The latest changes in the development source code are listed in the `changelog
+<https://github.com/pygments/pygments/blob/master/CHANGES>`_.
