+
+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,
+which 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
