+
+# Tools to build robust and extensible pipelines
+
+This package is part of the signal-processing and machine learning toolbox
+[Bob](https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob).
+
+The goal is to provide more flexible pipeline mechanisms for
+[bob.bio.base](http://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.bio.base) and
+[bob.pad.base](http://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.pad.base).
+
+It is based on the
+[scikit-learn pipeline](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/compose.html)
+and adds a layer to route data and metadata through the pipeline (which is not
+supported by scikit-learn yet).
+
+## Installation
+
+Complete bob's
+[installation instructions](https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob/install). Then,
+to install this package, run:
+
+``` sh
+conda install bob.pipelines
