+<h2>Installation</h2>
+<p>
+LuaFileSystem is distributed as a pair of C source and header files.
+The distribution provides a <tt>Makefile</tt> prepared to compile the
+library and install it.
+The file <tt>config</tt> should be edited to suit the needs of the aimed
+platform.
+</p>
+<p>
+LuaFileSystem follows the
+<a href="http://www.keplerproject.org/compat">package proposal</a>
+for Lua 5.1,
+therefore this package should be "installed".
+In other words,
+if you are using Lua 5.0,
+the files <tt>compat-5.1.c</tt> and <tt>compat-5.1.h</tt> must be used
+in the compilation and the file <tt>compat-5.1.lua</tt> must be installed
+in the <tt>LUA_PATH</tt>.
+If you are using Lua 5.1,
+nothing should be done.
