+Installation Instructions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In order to ease the installation of third-party bundles, consider using the
+following standardized instructions in your ``README.md`` file.

+    Installation
+    ============
+
+    Step 1: Download the Bundle
+    ---------------------------
+
+    Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the
+    following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:
+
+    ```bash
+    $ composer require <package-name> "~1"
+    ```
+
+    This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained
+    in the [installation chapter](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md)
+    of the Composer documentation.
+
+    Step 2: Enable the Bundle
+    -------------------------
+
+    Then, enable the bundle by adding the following line in the `app/AppKernel.php`
+    file of your project:
+
+    ```php
+    <?php
+    // app/AppKernel.php
+
+    // ...
+
+    public function registerBundles()
+    {
+        $bundles = array(
+            // ...
+            return new <vendor>\<bundle-name>\<bundle-long-name>(),
+        );
+    }
+    ```
+
+This template assumes that your bundle is in its ``1.x`` version. If not, change
+the ``"~1"`` installation version accordingly (``"~2"``, ``"~3"``, etc.)
+
+Optionally, you can add more installation steps (*Step 3*, *Step 4*, etc.) to
+explain other required installation tasks, such as registering routes or
+dumping assets.
