+PyAMS relies on Python packages for which you must have system packages available in your environment.

-* a C/C++ compiler (GCC is fine)
+    - C/C++ compiler like **GCC**
+    - **Python 3.5*** with development headers or **Cython3** for better optimization of several packages
+    - Cache server, like **Redis** or **Memcached**.
+
+    - Several libraries with their development headers:
 
-* a Python 3.5 interpreter with development headers; PyAMS may be compatible with other versions but has only been
-  completely tested with this version until now
+        => *libjpeg*, *libpng*, *libfreetype*, *libxml2* and *libxslt* (and *libpq* if you want to use PostgreSQL)
