+## Installation requirements
+
+- Linux kernel 5.4 or newer, for io_uring support. 5.8 or later is highly
+  recommended because io_uring is a relatively new technology and there is
+  at least one bug which reproduces with io_uring and HP SmartArray
+  controllers in 5.4
+- liburing 0.4 or newer
+- lp_solve
+- etcd 3.4.15 or newer. Earlier versions won't work because of various bugs,
+  for example [#12402](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/12402).
+- node.js 10 or newer
