### Getting started: installing with pip
We are now requiring the newest version of ![scipy](http://www.scipy.org/) and thus, we strongly recommend using
the ![anaconda python distribution](http://continuum.io/downloads).
With anaconda you can install GPy by the following:
conda update scipy
pip install gpy
. We've also had luck with ![enthought](http://www.enthought.com), although enthought currently (as of 8th Sep. 2015) does not support scipy 0.16.
On a fresh install of windows 8.1, we downloaded the Anaconda python distribution, started the anaconda command prompt and typed
conda update scipy
pip install GPy
Everything seems to work: from here you can type `ipython` and then `import GPy; GPy.tests()`. Working as of 21/11/14
