 ## Installation
 
-For this project was developed in PaddlePaddle V2 API, which is not maintained officially any more, we only support [running it in Docker container](#running-in-docker-container), instead of building environment from source code. And we are going to release the update to the latest Paddle Fluid API very soon, please keep an eye on this project.
+For this project was developed in PaddlePaddle V2 API, which is not maintained officially any more. To avoid the trouble of environment setup, [running in Docker container](#running-in-docker-container) is highly recommended. Otherwise follow the guidelines below to install the dependencies manually. And we are going to release the update to the latest Paddle Fluid API very soon, please keep an eye on this project.
+### Prerequisites
+- Python 2.7 only supported
+- PaddlePaddle the 0.13 version
+
+```bash
+pip install paddlepaddle-gpu==0.13
+```
+
+### Setup
+- Make sure these libraries or tools installed: `pkg-config`, `flac`, `ogg`, `vorbis`, `boost` and `swig`, e.g. installing them via `apt-get`:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install -y pkg-config libflac-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libboost-dev swig
+```
+
+- Run the setup script for the remaining dependencies
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/DeepSpeech.git
+cd DeepSpeech
+sh setup.sh
+```

 ## 安装
 
-因该项目基于 PaddlePaddle V2 API 开发，其已不再被官方维护，目前我们仅支持 [在 Docker 容器中运行该项目](#在Docker容器上运行)，而不支持从源码构建环境。我们很快会将这个项目升级到最新的 Paddle Fluid  API，请保持关注。
+因该项目基于 PaddlePaddle V2 API 开发，其已不再被官方维护，为了避免环境配置问题，强烈建议在[Docker容器上运行](#在Docker容器上运行)，否则请按照下面的指南安装依赖项。我们很快会将这个项目升级到最新的 Paddle Fluid  API，请保持关注。
+
+### 前提
+- 只支持Python 2.7
+- PaddlePaddle 0.13 版本
+
+```bash
+pip install paddlepaddle-gpu==0.13
+```
+
+### 安装
+- 请确保以下库或工具已安装完毕：`pkg-config`, `flac`, `ogg`, `vorbis`, `boost` 和 `swig`, 如可以通过`apt-get`安装：
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install -y pkg-config libflac-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libboost-dev swig
+```
+
+- 运行脚本安装其余的依赖项
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/DeepSpeech.git
