+## Prerequisites
+
+The Notmuch Emacs interface uses the Notmuch [[command line interface|manpages]]
+to interact with the Notmuch database and your mail store. Please make sure
+you've [[set up Notmuch|getting-started]] first.
+
+## Installation
+
+Due to the dependency on the command line interface, the Notmuch Emacs interface
+version must be compatible with the Notmuch version. On Linux, the easiest way
+to ensure this is to use the package(s) in your distribution's package
+repository.
