+Installing
+**********
+
+Dependencies
+============
+
+**Requirements**
+
+These are external packages which you will need to install before
+installing matplotlib. Windows users only need the first two (python
+and numpy) since the others are built into the matplotlib windows
+installers available for download at the sourceforge site.
+
+python 2.4 (or later but not python3)
+ matplotlib requires python 2.4 or later
+
+numpy 1.1 (or later)
+ array support for python
+
+libpng 1.1 (or later)
+ library for loading and saving PNG files. libpng requires zlib. If
+ you are a windows user, you can ignore this since we build support
+ into the matplotlib single click installer.
+
+freetype 1.4 (or later)
+ library for reading true type font files. If you are a windows
+ user, you can ignore this since we build support into the
+ matplotlib single click installer.
+
+**Optional**
+
+These are optional packages which you may want to install to use
+matplotlib with a user interface toolkit. See
+:ref:`what-is-a-backend` for more details on the optional matplotlib
+backends and the capabilities they provide
+
+tk 8.3 or later
+ The TCL/Tk widgets library used by the TkAgg backend
+
+pyqt 3.1 or later
+ The Qt3 widgets library python wrappers for the QtAgg backend
+
+pyqt 4.0 or later
+ The Qt4 widgets library python wrappersfor the Qt4Agg backend
+
+pygtk 2.2 or later
+ The python wrappers for the GTK widgets library for use with the GTK or GTKAgg backend
+
+wxpython 2.6 or later
+ The python wrappers for the wx widgets library for use with the WXAgg backend
+
+wxpython 2.8 or later
+ The python wrappers for the wx widgets library for use with the WX backend
+
+pyfltk 1.0 or later
+ The python wrappers of the FLTK widgets library for use with FLTKAgg
+
+**Required libraries that ship with matplotlib**
+
+If you are downloading matplotlib or installing from source or
+subversion, you can ignore this section. This is useful for matplotlib
+developers and packagers who may want to disable the matplotlib
+version and ship a packaged version.
+
+agg2.4
+ The antigrain C++ rendering engine
+
+pytz 2007g or later
+ timezone handling for python datetime objects
+
+dateutil 1.1 or later
+ extensions to python datetime handling
+
+**Optional libraries that ship with matplotlib**
+
+As above, if you are downloading matplotlib or installing from source
+or subversion, you can ignore this section. This is useful for
+matplotlib developers and packagers who may want to disable the
+matplotlib version and ship a packaged version.
+
+enthought traits 2.6
+ The traits component of the Enthought Tool Suite used in the
+ experimental matplotlib traits rc system. matplotlib has decided
+ to stop installing this library so packagers should not distribute
+ the version included with matplotlib. packagers do not need to
+ list this as a requirement because the traits support is
+ experimental and disabled by default.
