+Installation on Linux.
+
+- Extract the CNTK file tree to your system
+- Please, be aware, that by using CNTK you are accepting CNTK and other component licenses placed in "license" folder
+- If not installed, install Open MPI version 1.10 or later as described at https://github.com/Microsoft/CNTK/wiki/Setup-CNTK-on-Linux#open-mpi 
+- Set the following environment variables (the example below assumes, that CNTK is extracted to /home/username/cntk)
+  export PATH=/home/username/cntk/cntk/bin:$PATH
+  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/username/cntk/cntk/lib: /home/username/cntk/cntk/dependencies/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+  export ACML_FMA=0
+  (ACML_FMA is set to ensure the correct work of ACML library)
