+**Sphinx Installation Notes:**
+
+* If you're on OSX you might want to install the Python from homebrew - then a simple `pip install sphinx` does the trick.
+* For an easier time refreshing your local preview of docs as you change it, try [sphinx-autobuild](https://github.com/GaretJax/sphinx-autobuild).
