This means that the "pip" and "python" commands correspond to Pyston, so you can directly start doing `pip install numpy; python my_numpy_script.py` to get started. As mentioned though, the docker images are experimental, so please give us feedback [on gitter](https.://gitter.im/dropbox/pyston).

You can also download the latest release [from GitHub](https://github.com/dropbox/pyston/releases). It should for the most part just extract and run. One thing to note is that current virtualenv versions do not support Pyston, so you will need to use our version that we ship in the releases, such as by `pyston-0.5.0-linux64/pyston pyston-0.5.0-linux/pyston/virtualenv/virtualenv.py my_new_env`.

See our [Dockerfile](https://github.com/dropbox/pyston/blob/master/docker/Dockerfile) for how to do this.
You can also build Pyston directly from source. We have some build instructions at [INSTALLING.md](https://github.com/dropbox/pyston/blob/master/docs/INSTALLING.md). If you have any issues, please feel free to file an issue in the issue tracker, or mention it via email or gitter.

The easiest way to get started with NumPy-on-Pyston is to use another one of docker containers:
```
docker run -it pyston/pyston-numpy
```
To install it yourself, one needs a modified Cython, as well as to install numpy from source in order to invoke our modified Cython.
