 Installation
 ++++++++++++
 
-TBD
+Please install the following packages before proceeding with the backend compilation.
+
+* autoconf >= 2.69
+* automake >= 1.14
+* libtool >= 2.4
+* autopoint >= 0.19
+* libltdl >= 2.4
+* libunistring >= 0.9.3
+* libcurl >= 7.26 (or libgnurl >= 7.26)
+* GNU libmicrohttpd >= 0.9.39
+* GNU libgcrypt >= 1.6
+* libjansson >= 2.7
+* Postgres >= 9.4, including libpq
+* libgnunetutil (from Git)
+* GNU Taler exchange (from Git)
+
+Except for the last two, these are available in most GNU/Linux
+distributions and should just be installed using the respective
+package manager.
+
+The following instructions will show how to install libgnunetutil and
+the GNU Taler exchange.
+
+
+Before you install libgnunetutil, you must download and install the
+dependencies mentioned above, otherwise the build may succeed but fail
+to export some of the tooling required by Taler.
+
+To download and install libgnunetutil, proceed as follows::
+
+  $ git clone https://gnunet.org/git/gnunet/
+  $ cd gnunet/
+  $ ./bootstrap
+  $ ./configure [--prefix=GNUNETPFX]
+  $ # Each dependency can be fetched from non standard locations via
+  $ # the '--with-<LIBNAME>' option. See './configure --help'.
+  $ make
+  # make install
+
+
+If you did not specify a prefix, GNUnet will install to
+``/usr/local``, which requires you to run the last step as
+``root``.
+
+To download and install the GNU Taler exchange, proceeds as follows::
+
+  $ git clone git://taler.net/exchange
+  $ cd exchange
+  $ ./bootstrap
+  $ ./configure [--prefix=EXCHANGEPFX] \
+                [--with-gnunet=GNUNETPFX]
+  $ # Each dependency can be fetched from non standard locations via
+  $ # the '--with-<LIBNAME>' option. See './configure --help'.
+  $ make
+  # make install
+
+If you did not specify a prefix, the exchange will install to
+``/usr/local``, which requires you to run the last step as
+``root``.  Note that you have to specify ``--with-gnunet=/usr/local``
+if you installed GNUnet to ``/usr/local`` in the previous step.
+
+Finally, we can build the merchant backend using the following commands::
+
+  $ git clone git://taler.net/merchant
+  $ cd merchant
+  $ ./bootstrap
+  $ ./configure [--prefix=PFX] \
+                [--with-gnunet=GNUNETPFX] \
+                [--with-exchange=EXCHANGEPFX]
+  $ # Each dependency can be fetched from non standard locations via
+  $ # the '--with-<LIBNAME>' option. See './configure --help'.
+  $ make
+  $ make install
