+Installation
+------------
+
+Since the Thalmic Myo SDK is only available for Windows and Mac, myo-python
+can only be used on these two platforms.
+
+1. Install ``myo-python`` via Pip: ``pip install myo-python``
+2. Download the `Myo SDK <https://developer.thalmic.com/downloads>`_
+3. Make sure the library can find the Myo shared library by setting
+   ``PATH`` on Windows or ``DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH`` on Mac
+
+.. note:: You can also pass the path to the shared library to :func:`myo.init`.
