-NOTE: This package includes prebuilt Windows core of Capstone, so no external

-"Command Prompt" is all you need to install it.
+If you would like to build capstone with just the source distribution, without
+pip, just run `python setup.py install` in the same folder as this text file.
 
-If you want to compile everything from source code instead, use the
-PyPi package "capstone" instead.
+In order to use this source distribution, you will need an environment that can

+installation. See BUILDING.txt for more information.

+If you don't want to build your own copy of capstone, you can use a precompiled
+binary distribution frm PyPI. Saying `pip install capstone` should automatically
+obtain an appropriate copy for your system. If it does not, please inform
+<[email protected]> - they will fix this, probably.
