+Installation
+============
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+* Python 3.11 or higher
+* NumPy 2.0.0 or higher
+
+From PyPI (Recommended)
+-----------------------
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   pip install read-aconity-layers
+
+From Source
+-----------
+
+If you want to build from source or contribute to the project:
+
+Prerequisites
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* Rust 1.70 or higher
+* Python 3.11 or higher
+* Poetry (for development)
+
+Build Steps
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      git clone https://github.com/Cian-H/read_aconity_layers.git
+      cd read_aconity_layers
+
+2. Install Python dependencies:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      poetry install
+
+3. Build the Rust extension:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      poetry run maturin develop
+
+4. Run tests to verify installation:
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+      poetry run pytest
+
+Development Installation
+------------------------
+
+For development work, you'll also want the development dependencies:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   poetry install --with dev,docs
+
+This installs additional tools for:
+
+* Code formatting (ruff)
+* Type checking (mypy) 
+* Testing (pytest)
+* Documentation building (sphinx)
+
+Troubleshooting
+---------------
+
+Common Issues
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+**Import Error**: If you get import errors, make sure you've run ``maturin develop`` 
+to build the Rust extension.
+
+**Performance Issues**: The library uses parallel processing by default. If you 
+encounter memory issues with very large datasets, consider processing files in 
+smaller batches.
+
+**Rust Compilation Errors**: Make sure you have a recent version of Rust installed. 
+The minimum supported version is 1.70.
+
+Platform Notes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+**Windows**: You may need to install the Microsoft C++ Build Tools if you don't 
+already have them.
+
+**macOS**: Xcode command line tools are required for Rust compilation.
+
+**Linux**: Most distributions should work out of the box. You may need to install 
+``build-essential`` on Debian/Ubuntu systems.
