+Installing Python and Jupyter
+===============
+
+We are going to use Python in this class. Installing Jupyter is not 100% required, but it's a good idea because a lot of code from class will be shared in the form of Jupyter notebooks.
+
+I'm trying to keep these instructions short and link to other pages who explain stuff in more depth. But that said, if you get stuck, just email me and I can help you troubleshoot! (noura@berkeley.edu)
+
+1. Open the terminal
+--------
+
+Launch a terminal (aka command line, command prompt). Instructions:
+[OSX](http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/introduction-to-the-mac-os-x-command-line) , [Windows](http://www.howtogeek.com/235101/10-ways-to-open-the-command-prompt-in-windows-10/)
+
+Things that we ask you to type into your terminal will be formatted like this:
+	
+	$ cd
+	
+The `$` part represents what you will probably see leftmost in every line in the terminal. For example, on my terminal it shows `noura ~ $`. The `cd` is the part you actually type in and then hit ENTER. (This notation isn't universal. Sometimes other people will write commands that you are supposed to type in the terminal like `cd` without the `$`, and sometimes they use `>>>` instead of `$`...)
+
+2. Install Python
+--------
+Actually chances are you already have it installed. Check if you already have it installed by running this command in the terminal:
+
+	$ python -V
+	
+If you have Python, this will tell you what version you have. If you do not have Python, you'll get an error message.
+	
+Make sure your version of Python is recent enough. It needs to be either 2.7 or higher or 3.3 or higher.
+
+If you do not have Python installed, or if the version number is too low, installing or upgrading are both done by downloading Python from here: [instructions](https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download)
+	
+If you already have Python2, I think it would be simplest to just get the latest version of Python2. And same for Python3 - If that's what you already have stick with that. Why two major different versions of Python are both still in use is a matter of much discussion on the internet. I'm not going to take a stance here; just trying to make this setup process as simple as possible.
+
+NOTE: If you are on OSX El Capitan, chances are you already have Python 2 installed, but I would recommend going ahead and installing Python 3 and using that for Jupyter. Some students were having trouble installing Jupyter with Python 2 on El Capitan but switching to Python 3 seems to have fixed the problem. 
+	
+3. Install Jupyter
+------
+Go to the [Jupyter Instructions](http://jupyter.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html#install) and follow the section for "Installing Jupyter (I already have Python)" and "Using pip", then follow the link for "next steps" at the end of the "Using pip" section.
