+
+**Features**
+
+- GF = GF shell and grammar compiler
+- RGL = Resource Grammar Library
+- S = `gf -server` mode
+- C = C run-time system
+- J/P = Java/Python binding to the C run-time system
+
+### Notes
+
+The Windows package is installed by just unpacking it anywhere. You will
+probably need to set the `PATH` and `GF_LIB_PATH` environment variables,
+see Inari's notes on [Installing GF on Windows](http://www.grammaticalframework.org/~inari/gf-windows.html#toc3).
+
+The Ubuntu `.deb` packages should work on Ubuntu 16.04 and 17.04 and
+similar Linux distributions.
+
+The Raspian `.deb` package was created on a Raspberry Pi 3 and will
+probably work on other ARM-based systems running Debian 9 (stretch) or
+similar Linux distributions.
+
+The packages for macOS (Mac OS X) should work on at least 10.11 and
+10.12 (El Capitan and Sierra).
+
+The Mac OS and Linux `.tar.gz` packages are designed to be installed in
+`/usr/local`. You can install them in other locations, but then you need
+to set the `GF_LIB_PATH` environment variable:
+
+```
+export GF_LIB_PATH=/usr/local/share/gf-3.9/lib
+```
+
+where `/usr/local` should be replaced with the path to the location
+where you unpacked the package.
+
+## Installing the latest release from source
+
+[GF is on Hackage](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/gf), so under
+normal circumstances the prodedure is fairly simple:
+
+1.  Install a recent version of the [Haskell
+    Platform](http://hackage.haskell.org/platform), e.g. version 7.10.3
+    (see note 2 below)
+2.  `cabal update`
+3.  On Linux: install some C libraries from your Linux distribution (see
+    note 1 below)
+4.  `cabal install gf`
+
+You can also download full source packages from GitHub:
+
+- [GF releases](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-core/releases)
+- [RGL releases](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-rgl/releases)
+
+### Notes
+
+**Installation location**
+
+The above steps installs GF for a single user. The executables are put
+in `$HOME/.cabal/bin` (or, with recent versions of the Haskell platform
+on Mac OS X, in `$HOME/Library/Haskell/bin`), so it is a good idea to
+put a line in your `.bash_profile` or `.profile` to add that directory
+to you path:
+
+```
+PATH=$HOME/.cabal/bin:$PATH
+```
+
+or
+
+```
+PATH=$HOME/Library/Haskell/bin:$PATH
+```
+
+**Build tools**
+
+*TODO* Alex, Happy
+
+**Haskeline**
+
+GF uses [`haskeline`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskeline), which
+on Linux depends on some non-Haskell libraries that won't be installed
+automatically by cabal, and therefore need to be installed manually.
+Here is one way to do this:
+
+- On Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install libghc-haskeline-dev`
+- On Fedora: `sudo yum install ghc-haskeline-devel`
+
+**GHC version**
+
+The GF source code has been updated to compile with GHC
+8.2.1. Using older versions of GHC (e.g. 8.0.x and 7.10.3) should still
+work too.
+
+## Installing from the latest developer source code
+
+The first time:
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-core.git
+cd gf-core
+cabal install
+```
+
+and
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-rgl.git
+cd gf-rgl
+make
+```
+
+Subsequently:
+
+```
+cd gf-core
+git pull
+cabal install
+```
+
+and
+
+```
+cd gf-rgl
+git pull
+make
+```
+
+The above notes for installing from source apply also in these cases.
+For more info on working with the GF source code, see the [GF Developers
+Guide](../doc/gf-developers.html).
