See our [Dockerfile](https://github.com/dropbox/pyston/blob/master/docker/Dockerfile) for how to do this.
 
 You can also build Pyston directly from source.  We have some build instructions at [INSTALLING.md](https://github.com/dropbox/pyston/blob/master/docs/INSTALLING.md).  If you have any issues, please feel free to file an issue in the issue tracker, or mention it via email or gitter.
 
+##### NumPy
 
-##### Contributing
+The easiest way to get started with NumPy-on-Pyston is to use another one of docker containers:
+
+```
+docker run -it pyston/pyston-numpy
+```
+
+To install it yourself, one needs a modified Cython, as well as to install numpy from source in order to invoke our modified Cython.
+
+```
+pip install https://github.com/dropbox/pyston/releases/download/v0.5.0/Cython-0.22.0-pyston.tar.gz
+pip install git+git://github.com/numpy/[email protected]

+To produce a new docker build, do `bash build_docker.sh`.  You will need to do `docker login` first.
+
+Then using docker is just a matter of `docker run -it pyston/pyston` and running python/pip etc.
+
+Still todo: use PR #1099 to do in-tree builds, rather than just downloading our release?
