+Step 1: Install Distribute & Pip
+--------------------------------
+
+**Distribute** is a fantastic drop-in replacment for **easy_install** and **setuptools**. It allows you to install and manage python packages from PyPi, amongst a few other sources.
+
+To install it, run the python script available here: 
+<http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py>
+
+Make sure that `C:\Python27\`, and  `C:\Python27\Scripts` are in your PATH.
+
+**easy_install** is considered by many to be a deprecated system, so we will install it's replacment: **pip**. Pip allows for uninstallation of packages, and is actively maintained, unlike setuptool's easy_install.
+
+To install pip, simply run:
+
+    easy_install pip
