+Requirements
+------------
+
+The following requirements should be met prior to using PHPExcel:
+* PHP version 5.2.0 or higher
+* PHP extension php_zip enabled *)
+* PHP extension php_xml enabled
+* PHP extension php_gd2 enabled (if not compiled in)
+
+*) php_zip is only needed by PHPExcel_Reader_Excel2007, PHPExcel_Writer_Excel2007,
+   PHPExcel_Reader_OOCalc. In other words, if you need PHPExcel to handle .xlsx or .ods
+   files you will need the zip extension, but otherwise not.

+
+
+Installation instructions
+-------------------------
+
+Installation is quite easy: copy the contents of the Classes folder to any location
+in your application required.
+
+Example:
+
+If your web root folder is /var/www/ you may want to create a subfolder called
+/var/www/Classes/ and copy the files into that folder so you end up with files:
+
+/var/www/Classes/PHPExcel.php
+/var/www/Classes/PHPExcel/Calculation.php
+/var/www/Classes/PHPExcel/Cell.php
+...
+
+
+
+Getting started
+---------------
+
+A good way to get started is to run some of the tests included in the download.
+Copy the "Examples" folder next to your "Classes" folder from above so you end up with:
+
+/var/www/Examples/01simple.php
+/var/www/Examples/02types.php
+...
+
+Start running the test by pointing your browser to the test scripts:
+
+http://example.com/Examples/01simple.php
+http://example.com/Examples/02types.php
+...
+
+Note: It may be necessary to modify the include/require statements at the beginning of
+each of the test scripts if your "Classes" folder from above is named differently.
