 :app:`Pyramid` installation does not require the compilation of any C code, so
 you need only a Python interpreter that meets the requirements mentioned.
 
+Some :app:`Pyramid` dependencies may attempt to build C extensions for
+performance speedups. If a compiler or Python headers are unavailable the
+dependency will fall back to using pure Python instead.

 After you've got your virtualenv installed, you may install :app:`Pyramid`
 itself using the following commands:
 
-.. code-block:: text

-   $ $VENV/bin/easy_install pyramid
+.. parsed-literal::
+      
+   $ $VENV/bin/easy_install "pyramid==\ |release|\ "
 
 The ``easy_install`` command will take longer than the previous ones to
 complete, as it downloads and installs a number of dependencies.
 
+.. note::
+
+   If you see any warnings and/or errors related to failing to compile the C
+   extensions, in most cases you may safely ignore those errors. If you wish
+   to use the C extensions, please verify that you have a functioning compiler
+   and the Python header files installed.
