+Libervia's installation is currently a bit tricky. Full installation and
+configuration instructions are given on the Salut à Toi wiki:
+
+http://wiki.goffi.org/w/index.php?title=Libervia/en
+
+
+== Prerequesites ==
+
+These steps are detailed on the Salut à Toi wiki:
+
+* install and configure Salut à Toi
+* install and configure a local XMPP server (we recommend using Prosody)
+* install sat_pubsub
+
+== Dependencies ==
+
+* you need to install the txJSON-RPC dependency. The installation script of the current
+stable release is buggy, and it's fixed on the Bazaar repository, so you need to install
+Bazaar or git and clone the repository:
+
+  bzr branch lp:txjsonrpc
+
+or
+
+  git clone git://github.com/oubiwann/txjsonrpc
+
+Then you can install it:
+
+  cd txjsonrpc
+  python setup.py install '''(as root, "sudo python setup.py install" for *buntu)'''
+
+* install python2-gobject2 from your distribution repositories
+* install the git version of pyjamas (http://pyj.be):
+
+  git clone git://pyjs.org/git/pyjamas.git
+  cd pyjamas
+  python boostrap.py
+  
+You can need to force a python version if libervia's compilation doesn't work, for example:
+
+  python2.7 boostrap.py
+
+Salut à Toi and Libervia are being developped with Python 2.7.3.
+You can check that it works by compiling the helloworld example:
+
+  cd examples/helloworld
+  ./build.sh
+
+If you have no error message, it should be allright.
+
+== Install Libervia ==
+
+* to install Libervia using setuptools, the pyjsbuild executable should be accessible
+from your environment variable "PATH". The easiest would be:
+
+  cd pyjamas
+  sudo ln -sf bin/pyjsbuild /usr/bin/pyjsbuild 
+
+* clone libervia repository:
+
+  hg clone http://repos.goffi.org/libervia
+
+* install Libervia:
+
+  cd libervia
+  python setup.py install
+
+* create an account "libervia@yourserver.tld" (replace "yourserver.tld" by "example.net"
+or something else) on your XMPP server, create a profile on SàT named "libervia", and
+plug the SàT profile to this account.
+
+== Usage ==
+
+The four components must be launched in the following order:
+
+* prosody
+* sat_pubsub (with the xmpp domain and password as declared in prosodi.cfg.lua)
+* sat
+* libervia's web server
+
+Your command input would look like that:
+
+  cd prosody && prosodyctl start
+  twistd sat_pubsub --jid=sat-pubsub.<xmpp_domain> --secret=<password>
+  sat
+  libervia
+
+You can now drop your web browser on http://localhost:8080/libervia.html
+
+If you encounter any issue, you can ask for help on MUC room sat@chat.jabberfr.org
+or use the dev mailing list: http://lists.goffi.org
