 ### Getting the build environment
-1. Install Python 2.7.x.
-2. Install Pelican (`pip install pelican`).
-    Make sure that pip is using Python 2.7.x if you have multiple versions installed.
-    There may be a pip2.7 alias on your system.
-    You can also use a virtualenv to isolate the required Python environment.
-    Note: last I tested, Pelican 3.7.1 was failing to build the website.
-    Older Pelican 3.6.3 worked fine with our code: `pip2 install pelican==3.6.3`
-3. Install some extra components:
-    * For Markdown support (required):
-        `pip install Markdown`
-    * For fancy typography elements with typogrify:
-        `pip install typogrify`
-    * For geographical information from an IP address (optional for
-      plugin `gimp_mirrors`):
-        `pip install pygeoip`
+1. Install Python 3.x. (Tested and working on at least 3.5.7).  
+   For sanity, it is recommended to use a [virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html).
+    ```
+    python3 -m venv py3-venv
+    ```
+2. Install build requirements located in `py3-requirements.txt`.  
+   This can be done easily by running `pip install -r py3-requirements.txt`.
 
 Further information in greater detail can be found in the Pelican documentation 
(https://docs.getpelican.com/en/stable/).
