+Installation
+============
+
+How to install and use the theme
+--------------------------------
+
+Install the ``sphinx_rtd_theme`` package (or add it to your ``requirements.txt`` file):
+
+.. code:: console
+
+ $ pip install sphinx_rtd_theme
+
+In your Sphinx project's ``conf.py`` file, add ``sphinx_rtd_theme`` to the list of enabled extensions and as the active theme:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+ extensions = [
+ ...
+ 'sphinx_rtd_theme',
+ ]
+
+ html_theme = "sphinx_rtd_theme"
+
+.. seealso::
+ :ref:`supported-browsers`
+ Officially supported and tested browser/operating system combinations
+
+ :ref:`supported-dependencies`
+ Officially Supported versions of Python, Sphinx, and other dependencies.
+
+
+.. note::
+
+ Adding this theme as an extension is what enables localization of theme
+ strings in your translated output. If these strings are not translated in
+ your output, either we lack the localized strings for your locale, or you
+ are using an old version of the theme.
+
+ ..
+ comment about this note: it's possibly not necessary to add the theme as an extension.
+ Rather, this is an issue caused by setting html_theme_path.
+ See: https://github.com/readthedocs/readthedocs.org/pull/9654

+
+How to upgrade
+--------------
+
+Adding ``sphinx-rtd-theme`` to your project's dependencies will make pip install the latest compatible version of the theme.
+
+If you want to test a **pre-release**, you need to be explicit about the version you specify.
+Otherwise, pip will ignore pre-releases. Add for instance ``sphinx-rtd-theme==1.1.0b3`` to test a pre-release.
+
+.. tip::
+ We recommend that you pin the version of Sphinx that your project is built with.
+ We won't release sphinx-rtd-theme without marking its compatibility with Sphinx. So if you do not pin ``sphinx-rtd-theme`` itself, you will always get the *latest compatible* release.
+
+ More information is available in Read the Docs' documentation on :doc:`rtd:guides/reproducible-builds`.
