+To install Capstone, you should run `pip install capstone`.
+
+If you would like to build Capstone with just the source distribution, without
+pip, just run `python setup.py install` in the folder with setup.py in it.
+
+In order to use this source distribution, you will need an environment that can
+compile C code. On Linux, this is usually easy, but on Windows, this involves
+installing Visual Studio and using the "Developer Command Prompt" to perform the
+installation. See BUILDING.txt for more information.
+
+By default, attempting to install the python bindings will trigger a build of
+the capstone native core. If this is undesirable for whatever reason, for
+instance, you already have a globally installed copy of libcapstone, you may
+inhibit the build by setting the environment variable LIBCAPSTONE_PATH. The
+exact value is not checked, just setting it will inhibit the build. During
+execution, this variable may be set to the path of a directory containing a
+specific version of libcapstone you would like to use.
+
+If you don't want to build your own copy of Capstone, you can use a precompiled
+binary distribution from PyPI. Saying `pip install capstone` should
+automatically obtain an appropriate copy for your system. If it does not, please
+open an issue at https://github.com/aquynh/capstone and tag @rhelmot - she
+will fix this, probably!

+
+Capstone is a disassembly framework with the target of becoming the ultimate
+disasm engine for binary analysis and reversing in the security community.
+
+Created by Nguyen Anh Quynh, then developed and maintained by a small community,
+Capstone offers some unparalleled features:
+
+- Support multiple hardware architectures: ARM, ARM64 (ARMv8), Mips, PPC, Sparc,
+  SystemZ, XCore and X86 (including X86_64).
+
+- Having clean/simple/lightweight/intuitive architecture-neutral API.
+
+- Provide details on disassembled instruction (called “decomposer” by others).
+
+- Provide semantics of the disassembled instruction, such as list of implicit
+  registers read & written.
+
+- Implemented in pure C language, with lightweight wrappers for C++, C#, Go,
+  Java, NodeJS, Ocaml, Python, Ruby & Vala ready (available in main code,
+  or provided externally by the community).
+
+- Native support for all popular platforms: Windows, Mac OSX, iOS, Android,
+  Linux, *BSD, Solaris, etc.
+
+- Thread-safe by design.
+
+- Special support for embedding into firmware or OS kernel.
+
+- High performance & suitable for malware analysis (capable of handling various
+  X86 malware tricks).
+
+- Distributed under the open source BSD license.
