+Getting started
+===============
+
+Electrum is a pure python application. However, if you want to use the
+Qt interface, then you need to install the Qt dependencies::
+
+    sudo apt-get install python-pip python-qt4
+
+
+If you downloaded the official package (tar.gz), then you can run
+Electrum from its root directory, without installing it on your
+system. To run Electrum from this directory, just do::
 
     ./electrum
 
+If you cloned the git repository, then you need to compile extra files
+before you can run Electrum. Read the next section, "Development
+Version".
+
+
+
+Development version
+===================
+
+Check out the code from Github::
+
+    git clone git://github.com/spesmilo/electrum.git
+    cd electrum
+
+Compile the icons file for Qt::
+
+    sudo apt-get install pyqt4-dev-tools
+    pyrcc4 icons.qrc -o gui/icons_rc.py
+
+Compile the protobuf description file::
+
+    sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler
+    protoc --proto_path=lib/ --python_out=lib/ lib/paymentrequest.proto
+
+Create translations::
+
+    sudo apt-get install python-pycurl gettext
+    ./contrib/make_locale
