 MuPDF can access files in PDF, XPS, OpenXPS, CBZ, EPUB and FB2 (e-books) formats, and it is known for its top performance and high rendering quality.
 
-With PyMuPDF you therefore can also access files with extensions ``*.pdf``, ``*.xps``, ``*.oxps``, ``*.cbz``, ``*.fb2`` or ``*.epub`` from your Python scripts.

 # Installation
 
-For all **Windows** and - thanks to our user @jbarlow83 - the major **Mac OSX** and **Linux** versions we offer wheel-based installation options. Look [here](https://github.com/rk700/PyMuPDF/releases/latest) to find the version for your OS. These files can also be found in the [download section of PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/PyMuPDF/#files).

 If - for whatever reason - you need to generate PyMuPDF yourself, you must download and generate MuPDF before you can generate PyMuPDF. This process depends very much on your system. For most platforms, the MuPDF source contains prepared procedures to achieve this.
 
-Be sure to download the official MuPDF release from [here](https://mupdf.com/downloads). MuPDF also has a GitHub repo, but this contains their current **development source**, which more often than not is incompatible with this PyMuPDF.

-Once this is done, adjust directories in ``setup.py`` and the rest should be as easy as running ``python setup.py install``.

+The following sections contain some platform-specific comments.
 
 ## Ubuntu
-The required MuPDF version in the official Ubuntu repositories is often not timely available, so you do need to build it from source. Make sure to add ``-fPIC`` to CFLAGS when compiling.
-
-When MuPDF is ready, edit ``setup.py`` in PyMuPDF and comment out the line of ``library_dirs=[]`` to specify the directory which contains ``libmupdf.a`` and other 3rd party libraries. Remove ``crypto`` from ``libraries`` in ``setup.py`` if it complains. One of our users (thanks to @gileadslostson) has documented his MuPDF installation experience from sources in this [Wiki page](https://github.com/rk700/PyMuPDF/wiki/Experience-from-an-Ubuntu-installation).

 ## MS Windows
 
-If you don't use ``pip`` or [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/PyMuPDF/), you can still download [pre-generated binaries](https://github.com/JorjMcKie/PyMuPDF-Optional-Material) that are suitable for your Python / Windows combination. This, too, avoids any other download or compilation hassle. Again, make sure to consult our documentation.
+In addition to wheels, this platform offers [pre-generated binaries](https://github.com/JorjMcKie/PyMuPDF-Optional-Material) in a ZIP format, which can be used without PIP.
 
-If you do want to make your own binary however, have a look at this [Wiki page](https://github.com/rk700/PyMuPDF/wiki/Windows-Binaries-Generation). It explains how to use Visual Studio for generating MuPDF in quite some detail. Also do not hesitate to contact us if you need help.
