+Getting Started
+===============
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Anaconda
+~~~~~~~~
+
+UrbanSim is a Python library that uses a number of packages from the
+scientific Python ecosystem.
+The easiest way to get your own scientific Python installation is to
+install `Anaconda <http://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/index.html>`_,
+which contains most of the libraries upon which UrbanSim depends.
+
+UrbanSim
+~~~~~~~~
+
+UrbanSim can be installed from our
+`development repository <https://github.com/synthicity/urbansim>`_
+using `pip <https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/>`_, a Python package manager.
+pip is included with Anaconda so you should now be able to open a terminal
+and run the following command to install UrbanSim::
+
+    pip install -U https://github.com/synthicity/urbansim/archive/master.zip
+
+This will download urbansim and install the remaining dependencies not
+included in Anaconda.
+
+If you need to update UrbanSim run the above command again.
