+<div class="headline"><h4>Dependencies</h4></div>
+Apache squiggly requires some build tools which must be installed prior to building squiggly.  Some of these have different licenses.
+####General Requirements
+- Java SDK 1.6 or greater
+- ANT 1.7.1 or greater
+- Apache Flex 4.8 or greater
+
+####Software Dependencies
+
+The Apache squiggly requires 3rd party dictionaries to in order to perform spell checking  See the [README][1] on where to obtain this dictionaries. Most of these dictionaries have non Apache licenses.
+
+####Verify the integrity of the files
+
+Apache relies on 3rd party mirrors to distribute their software.  Because these releases are hosted on servers that are not under our control, we strongly recommend that you verify the integrity of the binaries or source code before you install it using the PGP or MD5 signatures listed next to the downloads.  This involves a few extra steps, but it will verify that you are getting a true Apache release.
+
+The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the [KEYS][10] as well as the asc signature file for the relevant distribution. Make sure you get these files as linked from this page (rather than a mirror) to insure the integrity of the files.
+
+    % pgpk -a KEYS
+
+    % pgpv apache-flex-squiggly-1.0-src.tar.gz.asc
+
+*or*
+
+    % pgp -ka KEYS
+
+    % pgp apache-flex-squiggly-1.0-src.tar.gz.asc
+
+*or*
+
+    % gpg --import KEYS
+
+    % gpg --verify apache-flex-squiggly-1.0-src.tar.gz.asc
+
+
+Alternatively, you can verify the MD5 signature on the files. A unix/Mac program called `md5` or `md5sum` is included in many unix distributions. It is also available as part of [GNU Textutils][11]. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from [here][12] , [here][13] , or [here][14]. An MD5 signature consists of 32 hex characters, and a SHA1 signature consists of 40 hex characters. Ensure your generated signature string matches the signature string published in the files above.
