+Getting Started with SimPEG
+***************************
+
+Dependencies
+============
+
+- Python 2.7
+- NumPy 1.8 (or greater)
+- SciPy 0.13 (or greater)
+- matplotlib 1.3 (or greater)
+- Cython 0.20 (or greater)
+
+Installing Python
+=================
+
+Python is available on all major operating systems, but if you are getting started with python
+it is best to use a package manager such as
+`Continuum Anaconda <https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/>`_ or
+`Enthought Canopy <https://www.enthought.com/products/canopy/>`_.
+You can download the package manager and use it to install the dependencies above.
+
