 The this approach will require you to use the command line, but it is as easy

-## Using Miniconda
+
+## Linux
+
+* Use either your system package manager, pip + virtualenv, or Anaconda to
+install the following dependencies:
+
+> numpy, cython, scipy, pandas, matplotlib, pyscaffold, future, nose, sphinx,

+### Command line
+
+This guide will use the command line (aka command prompt) frequently.
+You can launch a Windows terminal as follows: press Start > and type
+command prompt. A link to the command prompt should be visible now.
+
+In case you want an alternative, more capable windows terminal, you could consider
+using [ConEmu](https://conemu.github.io/) (this is optional).
+
+> ConEmu-Maximus5 is a Windows console emulator with tabs, which presents
+> multiple consoles and simple GUI applications as one customizable GUI window
+> with various features.
+
+
+### Git
+
+* Download and install Git version control system for Windows 64-bit
+[here](https://git-scm.com/download/win). Only select the Windows Portable
+option if you know what you are doing or if you do not have administrative
+rights on your computer.
+
+* Git comes with a simple GUI, but there are more and different options available
+if you are not happy with it, see [here](https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis)
+
+
+### Option 1: Anaconda (large download)
+
+* Anaconda is a professional grade, full blown scientific Python distribution.
+
+* Download Anaconda Python 2.7 for Windows [here](https://www.continuum.io/downloads).
+Depening on whether you already have a Python system installation, or another
+Anaconda version, you can should chose wisely between the two offered options:
+
+    * Add Anaconda to the system PATH: you can only have one Anaconda installation
+added to your path, but you can have multiple Anaconda or Miniconda installations
+in parallelel.
+
+    * Set as your Python default system installation (you can only have one Python
+installation set as your systems default).
+
+
+* Although the ```wetb``` module is Python 3.5 compatible, compiling it under
+Windows requires MS Visual Studio 2015. When using Visual Studio 2010, you can
+compile extensions for both Python 2.7 and Python 3.4. If you want to use
+Python 3+, we recommend to use 3.4 for the time being, unless if you know what
+you are doing (and wouldn't care to share installation instructions):
+
+* Update the root Anaconda environment:
+
+```
+conda update --all
+```
+
+* You can now create an independent environment with a specific python version:
+
+```
+conda create -n py27 python=2.7
+conda create -n py34 python=3.4
+```
+
+* These environments can be activated as follows:
+
+```
+activate py27
+activate py34
+```
+
+use ```deactivate``` to deactivate the environment.
+
+
+* You can only have the full Anaconda distribution in the root environment.
+When creating new environments you will have to manually install all packages
+you require for that specific environment.
