+Introduction
+============
+
+Thrift is a lightweight, language-independent RPC mechanism.
+
+Requirements
+============
+Thrift requires Python 2.4 or greater and PLY, the python LALR generator tool, 1.7 or greater.
+See python.org for source and binary distributions for python
+See http://www.dabeaz.com/ply/ply.html for the PLY distribution and documentation
+
+Thrift requires boost shared pointers from boost-1.33.1 or greater, see http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/smart_ptr.htm
+
+Resources
+=========
+
+More information about Thrift can be obtained on the Thrift webpage at:
+
+ http://developers.facebook.com/thrift
+
+Acknowledgments
+===============
+
+Thrift was inspired by pillar, a lightweight RPC tool written by Adam D'Angelo
+
+INSTALLATION
+============
+
+If you are building from the first time out of the source repository, you will need to generate the configure scripts. From the top directory, do:
+
+ ./bootstrap.sh
+
+Once the configure scripts are generated, thrift can be configured. From the top directory, do:
+
+ ./configure
+
+You may need to specify the locacation of the boost files explicitly: If you installed boost in /usr/local, you would run configure as follows:
+
+ ./configure --with-boost=/usr/local
+
+Run ./configure --help to see other configuration options
+
+Make thrift
+
+ make
+
+From the top directory, become superuser and do:
+
+ make install
+
