+
+Python Virtual Environment
+--------------------------
+
+Since snf-image-creator and the rest of its dependencies won't be installed
+using packages, it's better to work in an isolated python virtual environment
+(virtualenv).
+
+Install the Virtual Python Environment builder:
+http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv.
+
+For Ubuntu use the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
+
+Then create a new python virtual environment:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ virtualenv --system-site-packages ~/image-creator-env
+
+and activate it by executing:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ source ~/image-creator-env/bin/activate
+
+You may later deactivate it using:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ deactivate
+
+kamaki Installation
+-------------------
+
+Refer to `./kamaki documentation <http://docs.dev.grnet.gr/kamaki/latest/installation.html>`_
+for instructions. You may install kamaki from source inside the virtualenv
+you've created above or by using binary packages if they are available for your
+distribution.
