+# What is Kedro?
+
+> “The centre of your data pipeline.”
+
+Kedro is a workflow development tool that helps you build data pipelines that are robust, scalable, deployable, reproducible and versioned. We provide a standard approach so that you can:
+-   spend more time building your data pipeline,
+-   worry less about how to write production-ready code,
+-   standardise the way that your team collaborates across your project,
+-   work more efficiently.
+
+Kedro was originally designed by [Aris Valtazanos](https://github.com/arisvqb) and [Nikolaos Tsaousis](https://github.com/tsanikgr) to solve challenges they faced in their project work.
+
+## How do I install Kedro?
+
+`kedro` is a Python package. To install it, simply run:
+
+```
+pip install kedro
+```
+
+For more detailed installation instructions, including how to setup Python virtual environments, please visit our [installation guide](https://kedro.readthedocs.io/en/latest/02_getting_started/02_install.html).
+
+## What are the main features of Kedro?
+
+### 1. Project template and coding standards
+
+- A standard and easy-to-use project template
+- Configuration for credentials, logging, data loading and Jupyter Notebooks / Lab
+- Test-driven development using `pytest`
+- [Sphinx](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/) integration to produce well-documented code
+
+### 2. Data abstraction and versioning
+
+- Separation of the _compute_ layer from the _data handling_ layer, including support for different data formats and storage options
+- Versioning for your data sets and machine learning models
+
+### 3. Modularity and pipeline abstraction
+
+- Support for pure Python functions, `nodes`, to break large chunks of code into small independent sections
+- Automatic resolution of dependencies between `nodes`
+- (_coming soon_) Visualise your data pipeline with Kedro-Viz, a tool that shows the pipeline structure of Kedro projects
+
+*Note:* Read our [FAQs](https://kedro.readthedocs.io/en/latest/06_resources/01_faq.html#how-does-kedro-compare-to-other-projects) to learn how we differ from workflow managers like Airflow and Luigi.
+
+### 4. Feature extensibility
+
+- A plugin system that injects commands into the Kedro command line interface (CLI)
+- (_coming soon_) List of officially supported plugins:
+  - Kedro-Airflow, making it easy to prototype your data pipeline in Kedro before deploying to [Airflow](https://github.com/apache/airflow), a workflow scheduler
+  - Kedro-Docker, a tool for packing and shipping Kedro projects within containers
+- Kedro can be deployed locally, on-premise and cloud (AWS, Azure and GCP) servers, or clusters (EMR, Azure HDinsight, GCP and Databricks)
+

+*Random pipeline visualisation using Kedro-Viz (coming soon)*
+
+## How do I use Kedro?
+
+Our [documentation](https://kedro.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) explains:
+
+- A typical Kedro workflow
+- How to set up the project configuration
+- Building your first pipeline
+- How to use the CLI offered by `kedro_cli.py` (`kedro new`, `kedro run`, ...)
+
+> *Note:* The CLI is a convenient tool for being able to run `kedro` commands but you can also invoke the Kedro CLI as a Python module with `python -m kedro`
+
+## How do I find Kedro documentation?
+
+This CLI command will open the documentation for your current version of Kedro in a browser:
+
+```
+kedro docs
+```
+
+Documentation for the latest stable release can be found [here](https://kedro.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). Check these out first:

+
+Once Kedro is installed, you can check your version as follows:
+
+```
+kedro --version
+```
+
+To later upgrade Kedro to a different version, simply run:
+
+```
+pip install kedro -U
+```
