+One easy way to get a Python distribution with the required packages is to use the Anaconda environment from Continuum Analytics.
+
+* Download and install the free version of Anaconda according to your operating system  from `their website <https://store.continuum.io>`_.
+* Open a (new) terminal window:
+
+  * Navigate to Applications/Accessories/cmd, or
+  * open *anaconda Command Prompt* from windows *start*
+
+You should now be able to launch a Python interpreter by typing *ipython* in the terminal. In the ipython prompt, you can check your installation by importing the libraries we will need later:
+::
+    $ import numpy
+    $ import pylab
+
+To install the latest version of GPy, *git* is required. A *git* client on Windows can be found `here <http://git-scm.com/download/win>`_. It is recommened to install with the option "*Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt*". Then, GPy can be installed with the following command
+::
+    pip install git+https://github.com/SheffieldML/GPy.git@devel
+
+Note that some of the functionalities in GPy require a *C/C++* compiler. One option would be to install a MSVC compiler, e.g., an Express Edition can be found `here <http://www.microsoft.com/express/download>`_.
