 Install Python
 --------------
 
-Download the latest Python 2 installer from http://python.org, (Python 2.7, as
-of Mars 6, 2011) and run it to install Python.
+Download the latest **Python 3** installer from https://www.python.org, 
+3.4.2, as of 2014-11-30) and run it to install Python.
 
-The rest of this document will assume that you have Python 2.7, and thus that
-your install directory is ''C:\Python27''.
+Installing Python is mostly clicking next, but in the next screen remember
+the destination directory where you installed Python. These instructions
+refer to it as ``C:\Python34\`` which is the current name on 2014-11-30.
+
+Then you are asked to customize your installation. Click the drive on left
+side of "Python" text and select "Entire feature will be installed on
+local hard drive".
+
+Now Python installs itself which may take several minutes.
+
+Python should be now installed and you can check that the "python" command
+points to correct python. Open ``cmd.exe`` (press the Windows button on
+your keyboard and type "cmd.exe") and  run ``where python``
+and the toppernmost entry should be ``C:\Python34\python.exe``.
+
+Install git
+-----------
+
+In order to install the latest Limnoria from the git repository, you need
+git in your %PATH%. You can get it from http://git-scm.com/.
+
+In the "Adjusting your PATH environment", select the last option, "Use Git
+and optional Unix tools from the Windows Command Prompt" or you will have
+issues in the next step.
 
 Install Supybot
 ---------------
 
-We are now ready to install Supybot itself. First, you need to grab the latest
-code snapshot of Supybot. Easiest way to do that is to  click the "Downloads"
-button at the `Limnoria repository`_.
+Now we are ready to install Limnoria and it's requirements. Open 
+``cmd.exe`` as **Administrator** (right click it in the previous place)
+and run::
 
-If you downloaded the code archive, extract it to some temporary directory,
-and ``cd`` into the ``supybot`` directory which contains the extracted code.
+    python -m pip install -r https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ProgVal/Limnoria/master/requirements.txt --upgrade
+    python -m pip git+https://github.com/ProgVal/Limnoria.git@master --upgrade
 
-Once you have the code archive, extract it to some temporary directory, then
-open up a command prompt (Programs -> Run -> ``cmd``) and ``cd`` into the
-``supybot`` directory which contains the extracted code. For example, if you
-have extracted the archive to ``C:\sometempdir\``, you would enter in the
-prompt::
+We are now ready to configure Supybot. Supybot creates quite a few
+auxiliary files/directories to store its runtime data. It is thus
+recommended to create an empty directory from which you'll be running
+supybot, to keep all the data in a nice dedicated location. 
+For example, you may create a ``C:\Users\<username>\runbot`` for this
+purpose. 
 
-    cd "C:\sometempdir\supybot"
+Now you open cmd.exe as **normal user**, and create and cd into your runbot
+directory::
 
-Once there, run the installer to install, with the following command::
-
-    C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py install
-
-This will place some supybot scripts under ``C:\Python27\Scripts\``, and the
-supybot python module under ``C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages``.

-Now you open a command prompt, and ``cd`` to your ``C:\runbot`` directory::
-
-    cd "C:\runbot"
+    mkdir runbot
+    cd runbot
 
 and from within it run ``supybot-wizard``::
 
-    C:\Python27\python.exe C:\Python27\Scripts\supybot-wizard
+    python C:\Python34\Scripts\supybot-wizard

-file.
