+SimplePie Installation (optional)
+=================================
+
+To install the SimplePie parser plugin, complete the following steps:
+ 1. Download SimplePie from http://simplepie.org/downloads. The recommended
+    version is: 1.3.
+ 2. Decompress the downloaded zip file and change into the new directory:
+    cd simplepie-simplepie-[commit-number]
+ 3. Generate the SimplePie.compiled.php file by executing the compile.php file.
+    Run the following command:
+      php build/compile.php
+    or a suitable variation. The newly created SimplePie.compiled.php can be
+    found in the current directory.
+ 4. Rename the file to simplepie.compiled.php so that the Feeds module will
+    recognize it. Note: lowercase file name required.
+ 5. Move the file into a simplepie directory within the libraries directory so
+    that the Feeds module can find it. The default location is:
+      sites/all/libraries/simplepie
+    thus the file should be available at the following path:
+      sites/all/libraries/simplepie/simplepie.compiled.php
+ 6. Browse and check the Drupal status report to make sure the installation is
+    successful or use drush: (drush status-report) In the drush output you
+    should see "SimpleXML OK Enabled".
