+### Dependencies
+
+For all platforms (Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone Black) make sure your system is
+able to compile and download Python extensions with **pip**:
+
+On Raspbian or Beaglebone Black's Debian/Ubuntu image you can ensure your
+system is ready by running one or two of the following sets of commands:
+
+Python 2:
+
+````sh
 sudo apt-get update
-sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev
+sudo apt-get install python-pip
+sudo python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
 ````
 
-Install the library by downloading with the download link on the right, unzipping the archive, and executing:
+Python 3:
 
+````sh
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install python3-pip
+sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
 ````
+
+### Install with pip
+
+Use `pip` to install from PyPI.
+
+Python 2:
+
+```sh
+sudo pip install Adafruit_DHT
+```
+
+Python 3:
+
+```sh
+sudo pip3 install Adafruit_DHT
+```
+
+### Compile and install from the repository
+
+First download the library source code from the [GitHub releases
+page](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_DHT/releases), unzipping the

-You can ommit the sudo if you use raspberry pi.
+```
+
+Python 3:
+
+```sh
+cd Adafruit_Python_DHT
+sudo python3 setup.py install
+```
+
+You may also git clone the repository if you want to test an unreleased
+version:
