+Installation
+============
+
+InDicA requires python version 3.8 or 3.9. If this is not the default in your
+environment and you cannot install either version system-wide, consider using
+`pyenv <https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv>`_, available via the `installer
+<https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer>`_, to manage your python versions.
+
+InDicA can be installed in a virtual environment:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/ukaea/Indica.git analysis
+   cd analysis
+   python -m venv .venv
+   source .venv/bin/activate
+   pip install poetry
+   poetry install --no-dev
+
+You should then be able to :code:`import indica` in your python scripts,
+Jupyter notebooks and python interpreters after having sourced the virtual
+environment.
