-Installation

+Linux Package Installation
+===
+
+There is a docker package for Linux. We will put it up on the registry, but for now you can build it yourself by cloning the repo and running:
+
+    sudo docker build .
+    sudo docker run -rm -p 8778:8778 -i -t <image>
+
+
+Windows Installation
+===
+
+Install Virtualbox. Load a Linux distro and install Docker, then run the docker package.
+This also works on Mac, but Mac users may prefer installing from source.

+Python Installation
+---
+
+IHaskell will automatically install python tools itself.
+If you already have ipython installed you can use the --ipython flag.

+On Linux make sure you also have `python-dev` (or equivalent) installed, which is needed to install `pyzmq`
