+#PySide2
+
+This is the main repository for PySide2, the latest and greatest version of the Python bindings of Qt. 
+PySide 2 supports Qt4 and Qt5. For building, please read about [gettting the dependencies](https://github.com/PySide/pyside-setup2/wiki/Dependencies). Then download the sources by running `git clone --recursive https://github.com/PySide/pyside-setup2.git`.
+
+###Building
+
+####Windows
+On Windows, once you have gotten the dependencies and the source, `cd pyside-setup2.git` to enter the directory and then:
+```
+python setup.py install --qmake=\path\to\bin\qmake --cmake=/path/to/bin/cmake --openssl=/path/to/openssl/bin

-Introduction
-============
-
-.. note::
-
-   This text is mostly from PySide 1.2.X. We need to update it when
-   PySide2 for Qt5 is more ready.
-
-
-PySide is the Python Qt bindings project, providing access the complete Qt 4.8 framework
-as well as to generator tools for rapidly generating bindings for any C++ libraries.
-
-The PySide project is developed in the open, with all facilities you'd expect
-from any modern OSS project such as all code in a git repository, an open
-Bugzilla for reporting bugs, and an open design process. We welcome
-any contribution without requiring a transfer of copyright.
-
-The PySide documentation is hosted at `http://pyside.github.io/docs/pyside/
-<http://pyside.github.io/docs/pyside/>`_.
-
-Compatibility
-=============
-
-PySide requires Python 2.6 or later and Qt 4.6 or better.
-
-.. note::
-
-   Qt 5.x is currently in the works.
-
-Installation
-============
-
-Installing prerequisites
-------------------------
-
-Install latest ``pip`` distribution: download `get-pip.py
-<https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py>`_ and run it using
-the ``python`` interpreter.
-
-Installing PySide on a Windows System
--------------------------------------
-
-To install PySide on Windows you can choose from the following options:
-
-#. Use pip to install the ``wheel`` binary packages:
-
-   ::
-
-      pip install -U PySide
-
-#. Use setuptools to install the ``egg`` binary packages (deprecated):
-
-   ::
-
-      easy_install -U PySide
-
-.. note::
-
-   Provided binaries are without any other external dependencies.
-   All required Qt libraries, development tools and examples are included.
-
-
-Installing PySide on a Mac OS X System
---------------------------------------
-
-You need to install or build Qt 4.8 first, see the `Qt Project Documentation
-<http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/install-mac.html>`_.
-
-Alternatively you can use `Homebrew <http://brew.sh/>`_ and install Qt with
-
-::
-
-   $ brew install qt
-
-To install PySide on Mac OS X you can choose from the following options:
-
-#. Use pip to install the ``wheel`` binary packages:
-
-   ::
-
-      $ pip install -U PySide
-
-
-Installing PySide on a Linux System
------------------------------------
-
-We do not provide binaries for Linux. Please read the build instructions in section
-`Building PySide on a Linux System
