+Installation
+------------
+
+The package is supplied in `dtx` format and as a pre-extracted
+zip file, `siunitx.tds.zip`. The later is most convenient for
+most users: simply unzip this in your local texmf directory . If
+you want to unpack the `.dtx` yourself, running `tex
+siunitx.dtx` will extract the package whereas `latex
+siunitx.dtx` will extract it and also typeset the documentation.
+
+The package requires LaTeX3 support as provided in the
+`l3kernel` and `l3packages` bundles. Both of these are available
+on [CTAN](http://www.ctan.org/) as ready-to-install zip files.
+Suitable versions are available in MiKTeX 2.9 and TeX Live 2015
+(updating the relevant packages online may be necessary).
+LaTeX3, and so `siunitx`, requires the e-TeX extensions: these
+are available on all modern TeX systems.
+
+Typesetting the documentation requires a number of packages in
+addition to those needed to use the package. This is mainly
+because of the number of demonstration items included in the
+text. To compile the documentation without error, you will
+need the packages:
+ - `amsmath`
+ - `booktabs`
+ - `cancel`
+ - `caption`
+ - `cleveref`
+ - `colortbl`
+ - `csquotes`
+ - `datatool`
+ - `helvet`
+ - `mathpazo`
+ - `multirow`
+ - `listings`
+ - `pgfplots`
+ - `xcolor` \ No newline at end of file
