 Since Geiser supports multiple REPLs, having both of them will just add
 to the fun.
 
+You'll also need Geiser itself.  The quickest installation is via its
+ELPA package, as described in the next section.  If you prefer to use
+the source code directly, it's not that difficult either: just keep on

+Did i mention that the easiest way of installing Geiser is using its
+@uref{http://emacswiki.org/emacs/ELPA, ELPA} package?  If you're using
+Emacs 24, @uref{http://emacswiki.org/emacs/ELPA, ELPA} is already there;
+for earlier versions, the page i just linked to twice will tell you
+where to find the goodies.
+
+ELPA packages live in repositories accessible via HTTP.  You can find
+Geiser's package either in @uref{http://marmalade-repo.org, Marmalade}
+or in Geiser's repository, located at
+@code{http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/geiser/packages}.  To
+tell Emacs that a repo exists, you add it to @code{package-archives}:
+
+@example
+(require 'package)
+(add-to-list 'package-archives
+  '("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/"))
+;; You don't need this one if you have marmalade:
+;; (add-to-list 'package-archives
+;;  '("geiser" . "http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/geiser/packages"))
+(package-initialize)
+@end example
+
+And then installing Geiser is as easy as:
+
+@example
+M-x install-package RET geiser RET
+@end example
+
+Alternatively, you can manually download the @uref{@value{PACKAGE},
+package file}, and install from your local disk with @kbd{M-x
+package-install-file}
+
+With that, you are pretty much all set up.  See @ref{The REPL} to start
+using Geiser.
+
+@ifnotinfo
+And, by the way, if you prefer to keep reading this manual within Emacs,
+@kbd{C-h i m Geiser RET} will bring you to the info version of it that
+you just installed!
