Installation
============
-This guide describes the standard installation process for kamaki, with the aspiration of covering as much cases as possible. Although kamaki was initially targeted to advanced Linux/Unix-like users, it should be quite straightforward to install and have it up and running in most popular platforms.

Mac OS X
--------
-Kamaki can be installed on Mac OS X systems from source, by following the steps at :ref:`installing-from-source-ref`.
+Kamaki can be installed on Mac OS X systems, by following the steps
+at :ref:`installing-from-pypi-ref`.
Windows
-------
-Although it is proven not too tricky to install kamaki on Windows console using `git for windows <http://git-scm.com/downloads>`_, Windows environments are not supported at the time being.
+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 (`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 setuptools 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 machine
+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:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts
+
+.. note:: Path values are separated by semicolons
+
+.. warning:: In case of a different version, C:\\Python27 should be replaced
+ with the actual python path in the system
+
+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 platforms should download and run the graphic
+ installer
+
+* Users with 64-bit platforms 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_install kamaki
