+Installing
+----------
+
+The easiest way to install the fdroidserver tools is to use virtualenv and pip
+(if you are Debian/Ubuntu/Mint/etc, you can first try installing using
+`apt-get install fdroidserver`). First, make sure you have virtualenv
+installed, it should be included in your OS's Python distribution or via other
+mechanisms like dnf/yum/pacman/emerge/Fink/MacPorts/Brew. Then here's how to
+install:
+
+ git clone https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver.git
+ cd fdroidserver
+ virtualenv env/
+ . env/bin/activate
+ pip install -e .
+ python2 setup.py install
