 <p>Requirements for Ansible are extremely minimal.</p>
-<p>If you are running python 2.6 or later on the <strong>overlord</strong> machine (the machine
-that you&#8217;ll be talking to the remote machines from), you will need:</p>
+<p>Ansible is written for Python 2.6.  If you are running Python 2.5 on an &#8220;Enterprise Linux&#8221; variant,
+your distribution can easily install 2.6 (see instructions in the next section).  Newer versions
+of Linux and OS X should already have 2.6.</p>
+<p>In additon to Python 2.6, you will want the following packages:</p>
 <ul class="simple">
 <li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">paramiko</span></tt></li>
 <li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PyYAML</span></tt></li>

+<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">python-jinja2</span></tt></li>
 </ul>
-<p>If you are only running Python 2.5, you will also need:</p>
-<ul class="simple">
-<li>The Python 2.5 backport of the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">multiprocessing</span></tt> module (<a class="reference external" href="http://code.google.com/p/python-multiprocessing/wiki/Install">see here</a>)</li>
-<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">python-simplejson</span></tt></li>
-</ul>
-<p>If you have any managed-nodes with python older than 2.6, you will also need:</p>
+<p>On the managed nodes, you only need Python 2.4 or later, but if you are are running less than Python 2.6 on them, you will
+also need:</p>
 <ul class="simple">
 <li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">python-simplejson</span></tt></li>
 </ul>
-<p>On the managed nodes, to use templates, you will also need:</p>
+<p>NOTE: Ansible 0.4 will have ways to remote bootstrap this, using Ansible itself.  Stay tuned.</p>
