+Postman - installation instructions
+===================================
+
+.. contents::
+
+First, install dependencies
+---------------------------
+
+So far, the only dependency you will need in order to run postman is Python [1]_
+
+Postman has been tested with python *2.7.x*, but it should work with versions
+2.6.x too.
+
+Please, refer to your operating system package system documentation to learn
+more about how to install python.
+
+Second, install Postman
+-----------------------
+
+Installing using pip
+++++++++++++++++++++
+
+You can install Postman using pip [2]_::
+
+  pip install -e https://bitbucket.org/codigo23/postman#egg=postman
+
+.. note::
+
+   Postman has not been recorded/uploaded to pypi [3]_ yet, so, in order
+   to install it using pip you will have to provide the URL for the public
+   Postman repo.
+
+Installing using easy_install
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+You can not install Postman using easy_install [4]_ yet (until we do
+record/upload it to pypi)
+
+Installing inside a virtualenv
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+You can install Postman inside a virtualenv [5]_. Just create a virtualenv::
+
+  virtualenv /path/to/your/env
+
+Then activate it::
+
+  source /path/to/your/env/bin/activate
+
+.. note::
+
+   If your shell is **csh**/**tcsh** remember you have to activate the 
+   environment this way::
+
+     source /path/to/your/env/bin/activate.csh
+
+And, once the environment has been activated, using pip to install Postman::
+
+  env$ pip install -e https://bitbucket.org/codigo23/postman#egg=postman
+
+Installing from sources
++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Releases
+********
+
+There are no releases yet. You will have to install it from the repository.
+
+From repository
+***************
+
+The source code of Postman is hosted in bitbucket [6]_. In order to grab
+the latest sources you need Mercurial [7]_.
+
+To get a copy of the sources, just *clone* the repository::
+
+  hg clone https://bitbucket.org/codigo23/postman postman-repo
+
+Then, go inside the *postman-repo* directory and run::
+
+  python setup.py install
+
+.. warning::
+
+   If you want to install it *system-wide*, probably you will need *root*
+   privileges (check your OS documentation to learn more about how to get
+   *root* privileges - for example using sudo [8]_)
