+General information
+===================
+
+Orthanc is a lightweight, RESTful Vendor Neutral Archive for DICOM.
+
+General information about Orthanc can be found on its [official Website](http://www.orthanc-server.com/).
+
+This repository contains the source code of the [Orthanc Book](http://book.orthanc-server.com/), that documents how Orthanc can be used.
+
+
+Setup
+-----
+
+To build the Orthanc Book from sources, you need to install [Sphinx](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/), the Python Documentation Generator.
+
+
+### Installing Sphinx under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ###
+
+    # sudo pip install sphinx sphinx_bootstrap_theme
+
+
+Generating the documentation
+----------------------------
+
+### Under Linux ###
+
+    # cd ./Sphinx
+    # make html
+
+The HTML documentation will be available in the folder
+`./build/html`. You can for instance open it using Mozilla Firefox as
+follows:
+
+    # firefox ./build/html/index.html
+
