Linux and Unix-like enviroments
-------------------------------
-Installing from source (git repos.)
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Debian:
+^^^^^^^
-Ubuntu and Debian packages
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The following steps describe a command-line approach, but any graphic package manager can be used instead.
+
+* As root, append the following to */etc/apt/sources.list* ::
+
+ deb http://apt2.dev.grnet.gr stable/
+
+* Make sure the GPG public key for the Synnefo development team is added:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo curl https://dev.grnet.gr/files/apt-grnetdev.pub|apt-key add -
+
+ otherwise *apt-get update* will produce GPG warnings.
+
+* Update the Debian sources:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo apt-get update
+
+* Install kamaki:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo apt-get install kamaki
+
+Ubuntu
+^^^^^^
+
+The following steps describe a command-line approach, but any graphic package manager can be used instead.
+
+* Let ppa take care of the repository configuration:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
+ $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:grnet/synnefo
+
+* Update the Debian sources:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo apt-get update
+
+* Install kamaki:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo apt-get install kamaki
+
+Install ansicolors (optional but recommended)
+"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo apt-get install python-ansicolors
+
+Install mock (for developers only)
+""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo apt-get install python-mock
+
+.. warning:: kamaki.clients unit-tests need python-mock 1.X or better. e.g.::
+
+ $ sudo apt-get install python-mock=1.0.1

+Installing from pypi
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Requirements
+""""""""""""
+
+Essential:
+
+ * Python 2.6 or better [http://www.python.org]
+ * Python setuptools [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools]
+
+Optional:
+
+ * VirtualEnv (python-virtualenv) [http://www.virtualenv.org]
-Mac OS
-------
+Setup a virtual enviroment (optional)
+"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+With virtualenv users can setup kamaki and synnefo services in a sandbox environment.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ virtualenv kamaki-env
+ $ source kamaki-env/bin/activate
+
+A more detailed example of using virtual env can be found at the `snf-image-creator setup guide <http://www.synnefo.org/docs/snf-image-creator/latest/install.html#python-virtual-environment>`_
+
+Install kamaki
+""""""""""""""
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ pip install kamaki
+
+Install ansicolors
+""""""""""""""""""
+
+The **ansicolors** package is not required for running kamaki, but it is
+recommended as a user experience improvement. In specific, ansicolors
+adds colors to kamaki responses.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ pip install ansicolors
+
+Install mock
+""""""""""""
+
+The **mock** package is needed for running the prepared unit-tests in the kamaki.clients
+package. This feature is useful when extendnig / debugging kamaki functionality and is
+aimed to kamaki developers and contributors. Therefore, users can enjoy the full kamaki
+user experience without installing mock.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ pip install mock
+
+.. warning:: mock version >= 1.X
+
+Mac OS X
+--------
+
+Kamaki can be installed on Mac OS X systems from source, by following the steps at :ref:`installing-from-pypi-ref`.
Windows
-------
-Installing from source (git repos.)
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Kamaki can be installed on Windows by following the pypi method. Installing the requirements is a bit different than in other systems.
+
+The full process is detailed in the following:
+
+Requirements
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* Python 2.7 or better (`Official versions <http://www.python.org/getit>`_)
+
+* Setuptools (`Official versions and workarounds <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>`_)
+
+Users who have already set up python and setuptools (e.g. for another project) may skip python and / or setup tools installation.
+
+Install python
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Download and run the Windows installer from `here <http://www.python.org/getit>`_
+
+Users should pick the installer that fits their windows version and architecture.
+
+Add python to windows path
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The following will allow users to run python and python scripts from command line.
+
+* Select **System** from the Control Panel, select the **Advanced** tab, the **Environment Variables** button and then find the **PATH** (user or system) and **edit**
+
+* Without removing existing values, append the following to PATH::
+
+ C:\Python;C:\Python\Scripts
+
+.. note:: Path values are separated by semicolons
+
+.. warning:: C:\\Python should be replaced with the actual python path in the system, e.g. C:\\Python27
+
+Install setuptools
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+According to the corresponding `python org page <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>`_, the setuptools installer doesn't currently work on 64bit machines.
+
+* Users with 32-bit operating systems should download and run the graphic installer
+
+* Users with 64-bit machines should download the `ez_setup.py <http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py>`_ script and install it from a command shell. In the following example, the script was downloaded at C:\\Downloads::
+
+ C:\> cd Downloads
+ C:\Downloads\> python ez_setup.py
+ ...
+ Installation finished
+ C:\Downloads\>
+
+Install kamaki
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ easy_setup kamaki
