+Installation
+===================
+
+C++ Capnproto Library
+---------------------
+
+You need to install the C++ Capnproto library first. It requires a C++ compiler with C++11 support, such as GCC 4.7+ or Clang 3.2+. Follow installation docs at `http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/install.html <http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/install.html>`_ with an added `sudo ldconfig` after you're done installing, or if you're feeling lazy, you can run the commands below::
+
+    wget https://github.com/kentonv/capnproto/archive/master.zip
+    unzip master.zip
+    cd capnproto-master/c++
+    ./setup-autotools.sh
+    autoreconf -i
+    ./configure
+    make -j6 check
+    sudo make install
+    sudo ldconfig
+
+Pip
+---------------------
+
+Using pip is by far the easiest way to install the library. After you've installed the C++ library, all you need to run is::
+
+    pip install capnp
+
+From Source
+---------------------
+
+If you want the latest development version, you can clone the github repo and install like so::
+
+    git clone https://github.com/jparyani/capnpc-python-cpp.git
+    pip install capnpc-python-cpp
+
+or::
+
+    cd capnpc-python-cpp
+    python setup.py install
+
+If you don't use pip, you will need to manually install Cython, and a setuptools with a version > .7.
+
+Once you're done installing, take a look at the :ref:`quickstart`
