+## Installation
+
+Binary packages for __OS-X__ or __Windows__ can be installed directly from CRAN:
+
+```r
+install.packages("RMySQL")
+```
+
+The development version from github:

+Installation from source on Linux or OSX requires [`MariaDB Connector/C`](https://downloads.mariadb.org/connector-c/). On some older platforms you can also link against Oracle's [libmysqlclient](https://packages.debian.org/testing/libmysqlclient-dev) driver but the mariadb implementation is much better.
+
+On recent __Debian or Ubuntu__ install [libmariadb-client-lgpl-dev](https://packages.debian.org/testing/libmariadb-client-lgpl-dev). In Ubuntu 14.04 this was called [libmariadbclient-dev](http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libmariadbclient-dev).
+
+```
+sudo apt-get install -y libhunspell-dev
+```
+
+On __Fedora__,  __CentOS or RHEL__ we need [mariadb-devel](https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/mariadb-devel):
+
+```
+sudo yum install mariadb-devel
+````
+
+On __OS-X__ use [mariadb-connector-c](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/mariadb-connector-c.rb) from Homebrew:
+
+```
+brew install mariadb-connector-c
