+## Requirements
+
+In its bid for minimalism, Textadept also needs very little to run. In fact, the
+only thing it needs is [GTK+ 2.0][GTK2]. It has it's own version of Lua compiled
+in.
+
+#### Linux
+
+Most Linux systems already have GTK+ installed. If not, it is probably available
+through your package manager. Otherwise, compile and install it from the
+[GTK+ website][GTK-Linux].
+
+#### Mac OSX
+
+There is a GTK+ [Mac OSX Framework][GTK-OSX] available in contrast to using GTK+
+from Fink or DarwinPorts/MacPorts in conjuction with X11. You will need to get
+the [latest TESTING framework][GTK-OSX-Latest] that supports versioning. Note
+that Textadept is designed for Intel Leopard Macs.
+
+#### Windows
+
+Windows systems need the [GTK+ 2.0 Runtime][GTK-Runtime] installed.
+
+[GTK2]: http://gtk.org
+[GTK-Linux]: http://www.gtk.org/download-linux.html
+[GTK-OSX]: http://gtk-osx.org
+[GTK-OSX-Latest]: http://people.imendio.com/richard/stuff/Gtk-Framework-2.14.3-2-test1.dmg
+[GTK-Runtime]: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-win/
+
+## Download
+
+Textadept can be downloaded from the [project page][Download]. Select the
+appropriate package for your platform.
+
+[Download]: http://textadept.googlecode.com/
+
+## Installation
+
+#### Linux and Windows
+
+For Linux and Windows machines, simply unpack the archive anywhere and you are
+ready to go.
+
+#### Mac OSX
+
+For Mac OSX machines, unpack the archive and move `textadept.app` to your user
+or system `Applications` directory like any other application.
