+AsciiDoc Installation
+=====================
+
+NOTE: The current version of AsciiDoc requires *Python 3.5 or later*
+to run.  If you don't already have an up-to-date version of Python
+installed it can be downloaded from the official Python website
+http://www.python.org/.
+
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+See the link:README.html[README] page.
+
+
+Installing from the GitHub repository
+-------------------------------------
+The AsciiDoc repository is hosted by https://github.com[GitHub].
+To browse the repository go to https://github.com/asciidoc/asciidoc-py3.
+You can install AsciiDoc from the repository if you don't have an up to
+date packaged version, or you want to get the latest version from the master
+branch:
+
+- Make sure you have https://git-scm.com/[Git]
+  installed; you can check with:
+
+  $ git --version
+
+- Go to the directory you want to install AsciiDoc into and download
+  the repository.  This example gets the {revnumber} tagged release:
+
+[subs="attributes"]
+  $ cd ~/bin
+  $ git clone https://github.com/asciidoc/asciidoc-py3 asciidoc-{revnumber}
+  $ git checkout {revnumber}
+
+You now have two choices: you can run asciidoc locally from your
+repository or you can use 'autoconf(1)' and 'make(1)' to perform a
+system-wide install.
+
+Running asciidoc from your local copy
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Create a symlink to the AsciiDoc script in a search `PATH` directory
+so it's easy to execute `asciidoc` from the command line, for example:
+
+[subs="attributes"]
+  $ ln -s ~/bin/asciidoc-{revnumber}/asciidoc.py ~/bin/asciidoc
+  $ ln -s ~/bin/asciidoc-{revnumber}/a2x.py ~/bin/a2x
+
+Use the git `pull` command to update your local AsciiDoc repository.
+
+Installing asciidoc for all users
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Create `configure` using 'autoconf(1)'; use `configure` to create the
+`Makefile`; run 'make(1)'; build the man pages; install:
+
+---------------------------------------------
+$ autoconf
+$ ./configure
+$ make
+$ sudo make install
+---------------------------------------------
+
+To uninstall:
+
+---------------------------------------------
+$ sudo make uninstall
+---------------------------------------------
+
+
+[[X1]]
+Distribution tarball installation
+---------------------------------
+The distribution source tarballs can be downloaded from GitHub
+releases page https://github.com/asciidoc/asciidoc-py3/releases.
+
+If your flavor of UNIX or Linux does not have a packaged AsciiDoc
+distribution or if you prefer to install the latest AsciiDoc version
+from source, use the `configure` shell script in the tarball root
+directory.
+
+The `autoconf(1)`-generated `configure` script creates a `Makefile`
+that is tailored for your system. To install:
+
+[subs="attributes"]
+  $ tar -xzf asciidoc-{revnumber}.tar.gz
+  $ cd asciidoc-{revnumber}
+  $ ./configure
+  $ sudo make install
+
+To install the documentation:
+
+  $ sudo make docs
+
+To uninstall AsciiDoc:
+
+  $ sudo make uninstall
+
+If Vim is installed on your system the AsciiDoc Vim syntax highlighter
+and filetype detection are already installed as built into the vim runtime.
+
+
+[[X3]]
+Microsoft Windows installation
+------------------------------
+AsciiDoc is developed and tested on Linux but there seem to be quite a
+few people using it on Windows. To install AsciiDoc on Windows unzip
+the distribution zip file contents:
+
+[subs="attributes"]
+  $ unzip asciidoc-{revnumber}.zip
+
+This will create the folder +asciidoc-{revnumber}+ containing the
+`asciidoc.py` and `a2x.py` executables along with configuration files
+and documentation.
+
+To generate DocBook based outputs (e.g. PDFs) you will also need a
+working DocBook toolchain. Installing and configuring a DocBook
+toolchain on Windows can be a challenge -- this blog post explains
+http://blog.rainwebs.net/2010/02/25/how-to-create-handsome-pdf-documents-without-frustration/[How
+to Create Handsome PDF Documents Without Frustration] using
+http://www.cygwin.com/[Cygwin],
+http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/[dblatex] and AsciiDoc.
+
+
+Testing your installation
+-------------------------
+Test out asciidoc by changing to the AsciiDoc application directory
+and converting the User Guide document (`./doc/asciidoc.txt`) to XHTML
+(`./doc/asciidoc.html`):
+
+  $ python3 asciidoc.py doc/asciidoc.txt
+
+The link:testasciidoc.html[testasciidoc] tool offers a more extensive set of
+conformance tests. You can run the tests by executing this command:
+
+  $ python3 ./tests/testasciidoc.py run
+
+A full battery of tests can be run from the `Makefile` script in the
+distribution root directory:
+
+  $ make test
+
+

+Prepackaged AsciiDoc installation

+
+*Fedora Linux*::
+  AsciiDoc is included in Fedora Extras, which is available in
+  the default Fedora installation. To install asciidoc, execute the
