-
-<li>
-<p>The simplest way to install cx_Oracle is with pip:</p>
-<pre>
-    python -m pip install cx_Oracle --upgrade
-</pre>
-<p>If a binary wheel package is not available on <a
-href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cx_Oracle" >PyPI</a> for your
-platform, the source package will be used.</p>
-
-<p>Note that if you download a source zip file directly from GitHub
-then you will also need to download an <a
-href="https://oracle.github.io/odpi" >ODPI-C</a> source zip file and
-extract it inside the directory called "odpi".  </p>
-
-</li>
-
-<li>
-<p>After cx_Oracle is installed, Oracle client libraries must
-also be installed and configured. These can be from Oracle Instant
-Client, from a local Oracle Database, or from a full Oracle Client
-installation.</p>
-
-<p>If you need the libraries, download and unzip the <a
-href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index.html"
->Oracle Instant Client</a> 'Basic' package for your platform and set
-PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or similar platform-specific library path
-loading environment.  See the <a
-href="https://oracle.github.io/odpi/doc/installation.html"
->installation notes for ODPI-C</a> for help.</p>
-
-<p>Versions 11.2, 12.1 and 12.2 of the Oracle Client libraries on Linux,
-Windows and macOS are supported.  Users have also reported success
-with other platforms.</p>
-
-</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>If you require cx_Oracle 5.3, download a Windows installer from <a
-href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cx_Oracle/5.3" >PyPI</a> or use
-<code>python -m pip install cx-oracle==5.3</code> to install from
-source.</p>
-
-<p>Very old versions of cx_Oracle can be found in the files section at
