 -------
 On windows, we recommend the ![anaconda python distribution](http://continuum.io/downloads). We've also had luck with ![enthought](http://www.enthought.com). git clone or unzip the source to a suitable directory, and add an approptiate PYTHONPATH environment variable. 
 
-On windows 7 (and possibly earlier versions) there's a bug in scipy version 0.13 which tries to write very long filenames. Reverting to scipy 0.12 seems to do the trick:
+On a fresh install of windows 8.1, we downloaded the Anaconda python distribution, started the anaconda command prompt and typed 
 
-    conda install scipy=0.12
+    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.
