+.. note::
+
+ To install wallabag easily, we create a ``Makefile``, so you need to have the ``make`` tool.
+
+wallabag uses a large number of PHP libraries in order to function. These libraries must be installed with a tool called Composer. You need to install it if you have not already done so and be sure to use the 1.2 version (if you already have Composer, run a ``composer selfupdate``).
+
+Install Composer:
+
+::
+
+ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
+
+You can find specific instructions `here <https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md>`__.
+
+You'll also need the following extensions for wallabag to work. Some of these may already activated in your version of PHP, so you may not have to install all corresponding packages.
