+:doc:`glossary`.
+
+
+Software Requirements
+---------------------
 
 Before installing, please verify that you have the following programs:
-  - lvm 2
-  - ssh
-  - drbd (kernel module and userspace utils)
-  - fping
-  - python twisted library (the core is enough)
-  - python openssl bindings
 
-To install, simply do ./configure && make && make install
+- `Xen Hypervisor <http://www.xen.org/>`_, version 3.0.x or 3.1
+- `DRBD <http://www.drbd.org/>`_, kernel module and userspace utils,
+  version 8.0.7 or above
+- `LVM2 <http://sourceware.org/lvm2/>`_
+- `OpenSSL <http://www.openssl.org/>`_
+- `OpenSSH <http://www.openssh.com/portable.html>`_
+- `bridge utilities <http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Net:Bridge>`_
+- `iproute2 <http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Net:Iproute2>`_
+- `arping <http://www.skbuff.net/iputils/>`_ (part of iputils)
+- `Python <http://www.python.org/>`_, version 2.4 or above, not 3.0
+- `Python OpenSSL bindings <http://pyopenssl.sourceforge.net/>`_
+- `simplejson Python module <http://code.google.com/p/simplejson/>`_
+- `pyparsing Python module <http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/>`_
+- `pyinotify Python module <http://trac.dbzteam.org/pyinotify/>`_
+- `socat <http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/>`_

+These programs are supplied as part of most Linux distributions, so
+usually they can be installed via the standard package manager. Also
+many of them will already be installed on a standard machine. On
+Debian/Ubuntu, you can use this command line to install all required
+packages, except for DRBD and Xen::
+
+  $ apt-get install lvm2 ssh bridge-utils iproute iputils-arping \
+                    python python-pyopenssl openssl python-pyparsing \
+                    python-simplejson python-pyinotify socat
+
+If you want to build from source, please see doc/devnotes.rst for more
+dependencies.

+Installation of the software
+----------------------------
+
+To install, simply run the following command::
+
+  ./configure --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc && \
+  make && \
+  make install
+
+This will install the software under ``/usr/local``. You then need to
