+# Getting meson
+
+## Downloading Meson
+
+Meson releases can be downloaded from the [Github release page].
+
+Meson is also available in the [Python Package Index] and can be
+installed with <tt>pip3 install meson</tt>.
+
+The newest development code can be obtained directly from [Git]
+
+## Dependencies
+
+Meson is implemented in Python 3. If your operating system provides a
+package manager, use should install it with that. For platforms that
+don't have a package manager, you need to download it from [Python's
+home page].
+
+Depending on your platform and backend you wish to use, you might need
+the [Ninja executable]. Again, use your distro-provided version if
+possible. Otherwise download it from Ninja project's web site.
