+INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
+
+1. Generate the configure script.  If you downloaded the source from git or
+are compiling with premium hook packages, you will need to run autoreconf to
+generate the configure script as shown below.  If you are building from a
+tarball you may skip this step.
+
+   $ autoreconf --install
+
+2. Run the configure script.  If you want to alter Kea's installation path, or
+need to include capabilities (e.g. enabling MySQL or PostgreSQL) you will need
+to specify these as options to the configure script (run ./configure -h for
+list of options).
+
+   $ ./configure
+
+If your environment is missing dependencies, the configure script will exit
+with error and should emit sufficient information to guide you on how to
+proceed.  A detailed account of the configure process is captured in
+./config.log.
+
+3. Build it. Once you've successfully configured the source tree, run "make" to
+build it.  You may wish to include the -j<n> command line option to specify
+parallel execution to speed things along:
+
+  $ make
+
+4. Install it. Depending on your target directory, this step will likely require
+a root privileges. You can install the software by running:
+
+  $ sudo make install
+
+Kea depends on C++ compiler, make, libtool, boost (at least includes, but many
+OSes require boost-system library), log4cplus and one crypto library (either
+OpenSSL or Botan) for compilation.  Optional backends (MySQL and PostgreSQL)
+have additional dependencies. For detailed installation directions, see the
+documentation in doc/sphinx/arm/install.rst text file or on the Kea online
+docs: https://kea.readthedocs.io/.
+Another optional dependency is Sysrepo, a system for providing YANG/NETCONF
+interface.

+You can find current OS-specific build/installation
+instructions in our knowledge base at https://kb.isc.org/docs/installing-kea
