+Quickstart
+==========
+
+If you have :mod:`setuptools` installed and you are on OS X or Linux (not Windows), the following will download and install IPython *and* the main optional dependencies::
+
+    $ easy_install ipython[kernel,security,test]
+
+This will get Twisted, zope.interface and Foolscap, which are needed for IPython's parallel computing features as well as the nose package, which will enable you to run IPython's test suite.  To run IPython's test suite, use the :command:`iptest` command::
+
+    $ iptest
