+
+## Introduction
+
+Flask-Admin is a batteries-included, simple-to-use
+[Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/) extension that lets you add admin
+interfaces to Flask applications. It is inspired by the *django-admin*
+package, but implemented in such a way that the developer has total
+control of the look, feel and functionality of the resulting
+application.
+
+Out-of-the-box, Flask-Admin plays nicely with various ORM\'s, including
+
+- [SQLAlchemy](http://www.sqlalchemy.org/),
+- [MongoEngine](http://mongoengine.org/),
+- [pymongo](http://api.mongodb.org/python/current/) and
+- [Peewee](https://github.com/coleifer/peewee).
+
+It also boasts a simple file management interface and a [redis
+client](http://redis.io/) console.
+
+The biggest feature of Flask-Admin is flexibility. It aims to provide a
+set of simple tools that can be used for building admin interfaces of
+any complexity. So, to start off with you can create a very simple
+application in no time, with auto-generated CRUD-views for each of your
+models. But then you can go further and customize those views & forms as
+the need arises.
+
+Flask-Admin is an active project, well-tested and production ready.
+
+## Examples
+
+Several usage examples are included in the */examples* folder. Please
+add your own, or improve on the existing examples, and submit a
+*pull-request*.
+
+To run the examples in your local environment:
+
+ 1. Clone the repository::
+
+ git clone https://github.com/pallets-eco/flask-admin.git
+ cd flask-admin
+
+ 2. Create and activate a virtual environment::
+
+ virtualenv env -p python3
+ source env/Scripts/activate
+
+ 3. Install requirements::
+
+ pip install -r examples/sqla/requirements.txt
+
+ 4. Run the application::
+
+ python examples/sqla/run_server.py
+
+## Documentation
+
+Flask-Admin is extensively documented, you can find all of the
+documentation at .
+
+The docs are auto-generated from the *.rst* files in the */doc* folder.
+So if you come across any errors, or if you think of anything else that
+should be included, then please make the changes and submit them as a
+*pull-request*.
+
+To build the docs in your local environment, from the project directory:
+
+ tox -e docs-html
+
+And if you want to preview any *.rst* snippets that you may want to
+contribute, go to .
+
+## Installation
+
+To install Flask-Admin, simply:
+
+ pip install flask-admin
+
+Or alternatively, you can download the repository and install manually
+by doing:
+
+ git clone git@github.com:pallets-eco/flask-admin.git
+ cd flask-admin
+ python setup.py install
+
+## Tests
+
+Test are run with *pytest*. If you are not familiar with this package
+you can get some more info from [their website](https://pytest.org/).
+
+To run the tests, from the project directory, simply:
+
+ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
+ pytest
+
+You should see output similar to:
+
+ .............................................
+ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Ran 102 tests in 13.132s
+
+ OK
+
+For all the tests to pass successfully, you\'ll need Postgres & MongoDB
+to be running locally. For Postgres:
+
+ > psql postgres
+ CREATE DATABASE flask_admin_test;
+ \q
+
+ > psql flask_admin_test
+ CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
+ CREATE EXTENSION hstore;
+
+If you\'re using Homebrew on MacOS, you might need this:
+
+ # install postgis
+ > brew install postgis
+
+ # set up postgresql user
+ > createuser -s postgresql
+ > brew services restart postgresql
+
+You can also run the tests on multiple environments using *tox*.
+
+## 3rd Party Stuff
+
+Flask-Admin is built with the help of
+[Bootstrap](http://getbootstrap.com/),
+[Select2](https://github.com/ivaynberg/select2) and
+[Bootswatch](http://bootswatch.com/).
+
+If you want to localize your application, install the
+[Flask-BabelEx](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Flask-BabelEx) package.
+
+You can help improve Flask-Admin\'s translations through Crowdin:
