+Sphinx Install
+==============
+
+The ReST markups currently used by the Documentation/ files are meant to be
+built with ``Sphinx`` version 1.3 or upper. If you're desiring to build
+PDF outputs, it is recommended to use version 1.4.6 or upper.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Please notice that, for PDF and LaTeX output, you'll also need ``XeLaTeX``
+ version 3.14159265. Depending on the distribution, you may also need to
+ install a series of ``texlive`` packages that provide the minimal set of
+ functionalities required for ``XeLaTex`` to work. For PDF output you'll also
+ need ``convert(1)`` from ImageMagick (https://www.imagemagick.org).
