34- Install Zarr from GitHub::
34+ Please note that Zarr includes a C extension providing integration
35+ with the Blosc library. Pre-compiled binaries are available for Linux
36+ and Windows platforms and will be installed automatically via pip if
37+ available. However, if you have a newer CPU that supports the AVX2
38+ instruction set (e.g., Intel Haswell, Broadwell or Skylake) then
39+ compiling from source is preferable, as the Blosc library includes
40+ some optimisations for those architectures::
41+
42+ $ pip install --no-binary=:all: zarr%
43+
44+ To work with Zarr source code in development, install from GitHub::

3646 $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/alimanfoo/zarr.git
3747 $ cd zarr
3848 $ python setup.py install

40- N.B., on posix systems Zarr will attempt to build the Blosc C extension.
41- Zarr will fall back to a pure Python installation on other platforms or if
42- the C extension fails to build for any reason, which means that 'blosc'
43- compression will not be available.
