 INSTALLATION
 ------------
 
+### Install via Composer
 
+If you do not have [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/), you may download it from
+[http://getcomposer.org/](http://getcomposer.org/) or run the following command on Linux/Unix/MacOS:
+
+~~~
+curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
+~~~
+
+You can then install the Bootstrap Application using the following command:
+
+~~~
+php composer.phar create-project --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap bootstrap
+~~~
+
+Now you should be able to access the Bootstrap Application using the URL `http://localhost/bootstrap/www/`,
+assuming `bootstrap` is directly under the document root of your Web server.
+
+
+### Install from an Archive File
+
+This is not currently available. We will provide it when Yii 2 is formally released.
