+# OS-Specific Binary Dependencies
+
+## Ubuntu (apt)
+
+On newish Ubuntu OSes you need the python header files:
+
+```bash
+$ sudo apt-get install python-dev python3.5-dev python3-virtualenv python-pip build-essential gfortran
+```
+
+But python-igraph often requires the binary igraph package
+```bash
+$ sudo apt-get install python-igraph
+```
+
+# SpeechRecognizer requires PyAudio
+```bash
+$ sudo apt-get install install portaudio19-dev python-pyaudio
+```
+
+## Mac OSX (homebrew)
+
+On Mac OSX you need python3 and pip (brew installs the python-dev header files automatically?):
+```bash
+$ brew install python3
+```
+
+SpeechRecognizer requires PyAudio
+```bash
+$ brew install portaudio
+```
+
+Offline SpeechRecognizer requires pocketsphinx and swig
+```bash
