= Installation Guidelines: Windows - Developer =

As a Developer running Windows, you have 3 choices:
 * Install Python & all dependent libraries using a simplified installer: InstallationGuidelines/Windows/Developer/Installer [[br]]
   //This installer currently provides Python 2.6 and is missing several Python packages. You will still need to do some browser and IDE setup.//

 * Install Python & all libraries manually: InstallationGuidelines/Windows/Developer/Manual [[br]]
   //This option takes longer, but allows getting the latest versions of tools and packages.//

 * Install [http://virtualbox.org VirtualBox] & run a [InstallationGuidelinesVirtualMachine Virtual Machine] which includes a pre-configured Eclipse on an Ubuntu OS [[br]]
   //This is appropriate for getting started quickly, as browser and IDE setup has been done. The virtual machine itself will need some setup. Installing directly on your machine may be a better choice if you are interested in doing long-term Eden development.//
