+Installing (1.x)
+================
+
+.. note:: Installing Paramiko 2.0 or above? See :doc:`installing` instead.
+
+This document includes legacy notes on installing Paramiko 1.x (specifically,
+1.13 and up). Users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to 2.0 when possible;
+PyCrypto (the dependency covered below) is no longer maintained and contains
+security vulnerabilities.
+
+General install notes
+=====================
+
+* Python 2.6+ and 3.3+ are supported; Python <=2.5 and 3.0-3.2 are **not
+  supported**.
+* See the note in the main install doc about :ref:`release-lines` for details
+  on specific versions you may want to install.
+  
+  .. note:: 1.x will eventually be entirely end-of-lifed.
+* Paramiko 1.7-1.14 have only one dependency: :ref:`pycrypto`.
+* Paramiko 1.15+ (not including 2.x and above) add a second, pure-Python
+  dependency: the ``ecdsa`` module, trivially installable via PyPI.
+* Paramiko 1.15+ (again, not including 2.x and up) also allows you to
+  optionally install a few more dependencies to gain support for
+  :ref:`GSS-API/Kerberos <gssapi-on-1x>`.
+* Users on Windows may want to opt for the :ref:`pypm` approach.
+
+
+.. _pycrypto:
+
+PyCrypto
+========
+
+`PyCrypto <https://www.dlitz.net/software/pycrypto/>`__  provides the low-level
+(C-based) encryption algorithms we need to implement the SSH protocol. There
+are a couple gotchas associated with installing PyCrypto: its compatibility
+with Python's package tools, and the fact that it is a C-based extension.
+
+C extension
+-----------
+
+Unless you are installing from a precompiled source such as a Debian apt
+repository or RedHat RPM, or using :ref:`pypm <pypm>`, you will also need the
+ability to build Python C-based modules from source in order to install
+PyCrypto. Users on **Unix-based platforms** such as Ubuntu or Mac OS X will
+need the traditional C build toolchain installed (e.g. Developer Tools / XCode
+Tools on the Mac, or the ``build-essential`` package on Ubuntu or Debian Linux
+-- basically, anything with ``gcc``, ``make`` and so forth) as well as the
+Python development libraries, often named ``python-dev`` or similar.
+
+For **Windows** users we recommend using :ref:`pypm`, installing a C
+development environment such as `Cygwin <http://cygwin.com>`_ or obtaining a
+precompiled Win32 PyCrypto package from `voidspace's Python modules page
+<http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml#pycrypto>`_.
+
+.. note::
+    Some Windows users whose Python is 64-bit have found that the PyCrypto
+    dependency ``winrandom`` may not install properly, leading to ImportErrors.
+    In this scenario, you'll probably need to compile ``winrandom`` yourself
+    via e.g. MS Visual Studio.  See `Fabric #194
+    <https://github.com/fabric/fabric/issues/194>`_ for info.
+
+
+.. _pypm:
+
+ActivePython and PyPM
+=====================
+
+Windows users who already have ActiveState's `ActivePython
+<http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads>`_ distribution installed
+may find Paramiko is best installed with `its package manager, PyPM
+<http://code.activestate.com/pypm/>`_. Below is example output from an
+installation of Paramiko via ``pypm``::
+
+    C:\> pypm install paramiko
+    The following packages will be installed into "%APPDATA%\Python" (2.7):
+     paramiko-1.7.8 pycrypto-2.4
+    Get: [pypm-free.activestate.com] paramiko 1.7.8
+    Get: [pypm-free.activestate.com] pycrypto 2.4
+    Installing paramiko-1.7.8
+    Installing pycrypto-2.4
+    C:\>
+
+
+.. _gssapi-on-1x:
+
+Optional dependencies for GSS-API / SSPI / Kerberos
+===================================================
+
+First, see the main install doc's notes: :ref:`gssapi` - everything there is
+required for Paramiko 1.x as well.
+
+Additionally, users of Paramiko 1.x, on all platforms, need a final dependency:
+`pyasn1 <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyasn1>`_ ``0.1.7`` or better.
