+********************
+
+**Plopp** is the new data visualization framework for the `Scipp <https://scipp.github.io>`_ project.
+
+Installation
+============
+
+Using pip
+---------
+
+You can install from ``pip`` using
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   pip install plopp[scipp]
+
+This will install both ``plopp`` and ``scipp`` which is required to use ``plopp``.
+If you already have ``scipp`` installed, you can leave the ``[scipp]`` part out:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   pip install plopp
+
+By default, this will only install minimal requirements which will allow you to create
+static 1d and 2d plots.
+If you wish to use additional features (interactive figures and 3d rendering),
+you can install all the optional dependencies by doing
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   pip install plopp[all]
+
+Using conda
+-----------
+
+You can install from ``conda`` using
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   conda install -c conda-forge -c scipp plopp
