 # Solarium PHP Solr client library
 
-Solarium is a PHP Solr client that not only facilitates Solr communication but
-also tries to accurately model Solr concepts.
+
+## What is Solarium?
+
+Solarium is a PHP Solr client library that accurately model Solr concepts. Where many other Solr libraries only handle
+the communication with Solr, Solarium also relieves you of handling all the complex Solr query parameters using a
+well documented API.
+
 Please see the project website for a more detailed description.
 
-## Project website
-http://www.solarium-project.org/
+## Requirements
+
+Solarium only supports PHP 5.3 and up.
+It's highly recommended to have Curl enabled in your PHP environment. However if you don't have Curl available you can
+switch from using Curl (the default) to another client adapter. The other adapters don't support all the features of the
+Curl adapter.
+
+## Getting started
+
+The preferred way to install Solarium is by using Composer. Solarium is available on Packagist.
