-# TODO: FUTURE!!!
-
-Thanks for downloading InVesalius.
-
-To install it, make sure you have Python 2.5 or greater installed. Then run
-this command from the command prompt:
-
-    python setup.py install
-
-Note this requires a working Internet connection if you don't already have the
-Python utility "setuptools" installed.
-
-AS AN ALTERNATIVE, you can just copy the entire "invesalius" directory to Python's
-site-packages directory, which is located wherever your Python installation
-lives. Some places you might check are:
-
-    /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages (Unix, Python 2.5)
-    C:\\PYTHON\site-packages         (Windows)
-
-This second solution does not require a working Internet connection; it
-bypasses "setuptools" entirely.
-
-For more detailed instructions, see docs/intro/install.txt.
