        **Please note: To make full use of our SDK, in addition to installing
        pyQuil, you will need to have installed quilc and the QVM (compiler
        and simulator, respectively). Both [quilc](https://github.com/rigetti/quilc) and the [QVM](https://github.com/rigetti/qvm) are now open
        source and can be installed by following their respective
        READMEs. Alternatively, the binary tools can be download as part of
        the [Forest SDK](https://rigetti.com/forest). If you'd like to run programs on our quantum
        computers, you'll want to sign up for [Quantum Cloud Services](https://rigetti.com/qcs).**
        
        ## Documentation
        
        Documentation is hosted at [http://pyquil.readthedocs.io/en/latest/](http://pyquil.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
        
        ## Installation
        
        You can install pyQuil as a conda package (recommended):
        
        ```bash
        conda install -c conda-forge pyquil
        ```
        
        or using `pip`:
        
        ```
        pip install pyquil
        ```
        
        To instead install pyQuil from source, clone this repository, `cd` into it, and run:
        ```
        pip install -e .
        ```
        
        See the [Getting Started Guide](https://go.rigetti.com/getting-started) to start writing quantum programs!
