 Salut à Toi is made of one backend, and several frontends. To use it, the first thing to do is to install the backend.

-0.7 version which will be "general public" version.

-Also note that SàT is still using Python 2 (this will change for 0.8 version which will be Python 3 only), so all instructions below have to be made using python 2.

 Of course, replace ``~/sat_media`` with the actual path you have used.
 
-.. following part is currently hidden until v0.7 is released
-
-  Last release
-  ------------
-
-  This release is really old and code has changed a lot since it.
-  Furthermore, stable version is currently not maintained. We recommend to use current dev version until version 0.7 is released.
-
-  If you are willing to install last release anyway, here are the instructions.
-
-  You can automatically install SàT and its dependencies using
-  easy_install or pip. You will however need to install Python's headers
-  (needed to build some packages),
-  `PyGObject <http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygobject/>`__ and
-  developments version of libxml2 and libxslt (to compile lxml python
-  library). On some ARM systems like Raspberry Pi or OLinuXino, it is also
-  required to install libjpeg-dev and libffi-dev beforehand.
-
-  The environment variable SAT_INSTALL customises the installation, it
-  contains flags separated by spaces:
-
-  -  "nopreinstall" skip all preinstallation checks
-  -  "autodeb" automatically install missing packages on Debian based
-     distributions
-
-  PyGobject is automatically installed on Debian based distributions if
-  "autodeb" option is set. Indeed, on Debian based distribution, you can
-  type:
-
-  | ``sudo apt-get install python-pip python-virtualenv python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libjpeg-dev libffi-dev zlib1g-dev``
-  | ``virtualenv --system-site-packages sat``
-  | ``source sat/bin/activate``
-  | ``pip2 install -U setuptools``
-  | ``SAT_INSTALL="autodeb" pip2 install sat``
-
-  After installing SàT, you need to install the media:
-
-  | ``mkdir -p /path/to/sat_media``
-  | ``cd /path/to/sat_media``
-  | ``wget ``\ ```ftp://ftp.goffi.org/sat_media/sat_media.tar.bz2`` <ftp://ftp.goffi.org/sat_media/sat_media.tar.bz2>`__
-  | ``tar -jxvf sat_media.tar.bz2``
-
-  then, create a ~/.sat.conf file which contains:
-
-  | ``[DEFAULT]``
-  | ``media_dir=/path/to/sat_media``
-
-  Of course, replace /path/to/sat_media with the actual path you want to
-  use.
