 Installation
 ============
+
+#. The recommended way to install the Debug Toolbar is via pip_::
+
+       $ pip install django-debug-toolbar
+
+   If you aren't familiar with pip, you may also obtain a copy of the
+   ``debug_toolbar`` directory and add it to your Python path.
+
+   .. _pip: http://www.pip-installer.org/
+
+
+   To test an upcoming release, you can install the `in-development version
+   <http://github.com/django-debug-toolbar/django-debug-toolbar/tarball/master#egg=django-debug-toolbar-dev>`_
+   instead with the following command::
+
+        $ pip install django-debug-toolbar==dev
+
+#. Add the following middleware to your project's ``settings.py`` file::
+
+       MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
+           # ...
+           'debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware',
+           # ...
+       )
+
+   Tying into middleware allows each panel to be instantiated on request and
+   rendering to happen on response.
+
+   The order of ``MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES`` is important: the Debug Toolbar
+   middleware must come after any other middleware that encodes the
+   response's content (such as GZipMiddleware).
+
+   .. note::
+
+      The debug toolbar will only display itself if the mimetype of the
+      response is either ``text/html`` or ``application/xhtml+xml`` and
+      contains a closing ``</body>`` tag.
+
+   .. note ::
+
+      Be aware of middleware ordering and other middleware that may intercept
+      requests and return responses. Putting the debug toolbar middleware
+      *after* the Flatpage middleware, for example, means the toolbar will not
+      show up on flatpages.
+
+#. Make sure your IP is listed in the ``INTERNAL_IPS`` setting. If you are
+   working locally this will be::
+
+       INTERNAL_IPS = ('127.0.0.1',)
+
+   .. note::
+
+      This is required because of the built-in requirements of the
+      ``show_toolbar`` method. See below for how to define a method to
+      determine your own logic for displaying the toolbar.
+
+#. Add ``debug_toolbar`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` setting so Django can
+   find the template files associated with the Debug Toolbar::
+
+       INSTALLED_APPS = (
+           # ...
+           'debug_toolbar',
+       )
