+# Detailed Installation Manual
+
+Installing Python packages with compiled extensions can be a challenge especially
+on Windows systems. However, when using Miniconda things can be simplified to a
+great extent as this manual hopefully will show you.
+
+The this approach will require you to use the command line, but it is as easy
+as copy-pasting them from this page straight into your command prompt.
+
+
+## Using Miniconda
+
+* Download the latest Python 3 (!!) Miniconda installer for your platform
+[here](http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html)
+
+* No need to worry about Python 2 or 3 at this stage. You can still use the
+Python 3 installer for creating Python 2 conda environments
+
+* Install the necessary Python dependencies using the conda package manager:
+
+```
+conda install scipy pandas matplotlib cython xlrd pytables sphinx mingw
+```
+
+* Not all packages are available in the conda repositories, but they can be
+easily installed with pip:
+
+```
+pip install pyscaffold pytest pytest-cov
+```
