+Install dependencies
+--------------------
+
+The needed dependencies can be found on the plugin page.
+
+You can also use `pip`'s "extras" feature to install all dependencies for a beets plugin.
+
+::
+
+    pip install beets[fetchart]
+
+It's also possible to install the dependencies for multiple plugins at once::
+
+    pip install beets[fetchart,lyrics,lastgenre]
+
+Remember to use `pip` for Python 2.7 as Python 3 is not yet supported. You might have to use `sudo`.
