The following software and libraries are required to run qutebrowser:

* http://www.python.org/[Python] 3.4
* http://qt-project.org/[Qt] 5.2.0 or newer (5.4 recommended)
* QtWebKit
* http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/intro[PyQt] 5.2.0 or newer
(5.3.2 recommended) for Python 3
* https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/[pkg_resources/setuptools]
* http://fdik.org/pyPEG/[pyPEG2]

To generate the documentation for the `:help` command, when using the git

qutebrowser and its dependencies.

Donating
--------

Working on qutebrowser is a very rewarding hobby, but like (nearly) all hobbies
it also costs some money. Namely I have to pay for the server and domain, and
do occasional hardware upgrades footnote:[It turned out a 160 GB SSD is rather
small - the VMs and custom Qt builds I use for testing/developing qutebrowser
need about 100 GB of space].

If you want to give me a beer or a pizza back, I'm trying to make it as easy as
possible for you to do so. If some other way would be easier for you, please
get in touch!
