+
+To run the application, you need the python binding packages for
+* Cairo
+* Pango
+* GObject
+* lxml
+* ANTLR 3.1.2
+
+You need to process the ANTLR grammars in order to generate the necessary Python code.
+All *.g files should be processed with ANTLR:
+
+    sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
+    pip install http://www.antlr3.org/download/Python/antlr_python_runtime-3.1.2.tar.gz
+    wget http://www.antlr3.org/download/antlr-3.1.2.jar
+    java -classpath "antlr-3.1.2.jar" org.antlr.Tool *.g
+
+You finally run this program with:
+
+    ./KeyboardLayoutEditor
