+Quick Installation
+==================
+
+* Linux: [Binary packages](https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Acopyme%3ADGtal&package=DGtal) (Arch, CentOS, Fedora, openSUSE, RHEL, SL)
+* MacOS (using [homebrew](http://brew.sh)):

+(```brew options dgtal``` to enable optional features)
+
+* Windows: no binary package, please compile the library.
+
+Quick Build Instructions
+========================
+
+More details are given in the [documentation pages](http://dgtal.org/download/). We just sketch the main instructions on linux/unix-based systems:
+
+    git clone https://github.com/DGtal-team/DGtal.git
+    cd DGtal ; mkdir buid ; cd build
+    cmake ..
+    make install
+
+Minimum system requirements: C++11 enabled compiler, [cmake](http://cmake.org), [boost](http://boost.org) (>= 1.46).
+
+DGtal can be compiled on Microsoft Windows system using Visual Studio 2014 (or newer). Generate the Visual Studio project using windows [cmake](http://cmake.org) tool.
