+###### Arch users:
+
+Some updates break dependencies. Most notably, numpy, scipy and gensim. To troubleshoot this, you can try many commands:
+
+`sudo pacman -S python-numpy python-pandas python-scipy` This is not recommended, as pacman has no integration with pip (as far as I know)
+
+Another possible solution if having build conflicts, is to update:
+
+`sudo pacman -S gcc gcc-fortran python-setuptools python-wheel`
+
+*Note:* gensim is broken if you have an updated version of scipy. You can either pin scipy to an older version, or 
+erase gensim from the requirements.txt for the moment. (See: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-gensim)
