= Installation Guidelines: Windows - Developer (Manual) =

If you are a Developer running Windows and wishing to install Python & all dependent libraries manually then this is the right page for you.

== Install Python ==
2.7 is currently recommended. (2.6 works for all core functionality, but doesn't allow you to use the S3Cube pivot table functions)

NB 32-bit Python should be used even on 64-bit Windows:

== Install git ==
We use the [http://git-scm.com/ git] Distributed Version Control System
Several downloads are [http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list available here], pick the latest one available and install it. Make sure that the shell extension is installed.

If you want to develop using the "forks"-feature of GitHub (which are basically branches - but in your own repository) or by commiting code directly to the eden repository, you have to [https://github.com/signup/free create a GitHub account]. After that you can setup your GIT by configureing your SSH keys and accountdata. A pretty good tutorial is available at the [http://help.github.com/win-set-up-git/ GitHub-Manual].
