 # Scour
-Scour is a Python module that takes an SVG file and produces a cleaner and more concise file. It is intended to be used after exporting with a GUI editor, such as Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator.
 
-## Requirements
-* [Python](https://www.python.org) 2.6 or later
-* [six](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/six) 1.9 or later
-* [psyco](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/psyco) (optional, Python 2.6 only)
+Scour is a Python tool that takes an SVG file and produces a cleaner and more concise file. It is intended to be used **after** exporting to SVG with a GUI editor, such as Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator.
+
+Scour is open-source and licensed under [Apache License 2.0](https://github.com/codedread/scour/blob/master/LICENSE).
+
+Scour was originally developed by Jeff "codedread" Schiller and Louis Simard. Development is [now maintained](https://github.com/codedread/scour/issues/11) by Tobias "oberstet" Oberstein.
+
+This Github repository is the official one. The official website as well as older packages can be found at [www.codedread.com/scour](http://www.codedread.com/scour/).
 
 ## Installation
-Scour can be installed manually or with a package manager, such as [pip](https://pip.pypa.io) or [Homebrew](http://brew.sh). It is also included as an Inkscape extension and in some Linux distributions.
 
-### Manual installation
-Download Scour and six and locate the `setup.py` file in both packages. Open a console and enter the following commands:
-```
-python /path/to/six/setup.py install
-```
-```
-python /path/to/Scour/setup.py install
-```
-Do the same if you want to use psyco.
+Scour requires [Python](https://www.python.org) 2.6 or 2.7 (Python 3 currently does NOT work - see [here](https://github.com/codedread/scour/issues/30)). Further, for installation, use [pip](https://pip.pypa.io):
 
-### Package manager
-To install Scour using pip, enter the following command into a console:
-```
+```console
 pip install scour
 ```
 
-To do the same with Homebrew:
-```
-brew install scour
-```
-
-Using pip or Homebrew will install six automatically (Homebrew will also install Python, if not installed).
-
 ## Usage
+
 Standard:
-```
+
+```console
 scour -i input.svg -o output.svg
 ```
+
 Better (for older versions of Internet Explorer):
-```
+
+```console
 scour -i input.svg -o output.svg --enable-viewboxing
 ```
+
 Maximum scrubbing:
-```
+
+```console
 scour -i input.svg -o output.svg --enable-viewboxing --enable-id-stripping \
   --enable-comment-stripping --shorten-ids --indent=none
 ```
+
 Maximum scrubbing and a compressed SVGZ file:
-```
+
+```console
 scour -i input.svg -o output.svgz --enable-viewboxing --enable-id-stripping \
   --enable-comment-stripping --shorten-ids --indent=none
 ```

-## Development
-Scour was originally developed by Jeff "codedread" Schiller and Louis Simard. Development is [now maintained](https://github.com/codedread/scour/issues/11) by Tobias "oberstet" Oberstein.
-
-Scour was started as a vehicle for learning Python. In addition, the goal was to reduce the amount of time spent on cleaning up files that are found on sites such as [openclipart.org](https://openclipart.org).
-
-Ideas were pulled from three places:
-  * the original author's head
-  * Sam Ruby's [SVG Tidy script](http://intertwingly.net/code/svgtidy/svgtidy.rb)
-  * Inkscape's [proposal for a 'cleaned SVG'](http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Save_Cleaned_SVG)
