 == General Prerequisites ==
 As a base for installing Bloodhound, the rest of this document expects that you have the following installed on your system:
- * [http://www.python.org/ Python] >= 2.6 and < 2.7.4
- * [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#id1 setuptools]
+ * [http://www.python.org/ Python] >= 2.6 and < 3
  * [http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html pip]
-
-On Windows you will have to install python, setuptools and pip through the links above and set/adjust the following environmental variables (assuming Python 2.7.* is chosen)
- * add a {{{PYTHON_HOME}}} system variable with the value {{{C:\Python27}}}
- * append {{{;%PYTHON_HOME%;%PYTHON_HOME%\scripts}}} to the path system variable
-
-On modern linux distributions, the appropriate packages are usually available in the distribution's standard repositories  - for example on Ubuntu, you should be able to do the following:
- {{{
-   sudo apt-get install python python-setuptools python-pip
- }}}
-
-At the moment it is also recommended that you install virtualenv with either
- {{{
-   sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
- }}} 
-on ubuntu or 
- {{{
-   sudo pip install virtualenv
- }}}
-as for systems with existing python installations, it allows you to install packages with lower impact to the system provided installation. In addition, virtualenv is a requirement if you wish to take advantage of the installer script.
+ * [http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/ virtualenv] - note that if you have this, you should already have pip installed.
+
+There are good guides available for installing each of the above on a number of operating systems including:
+ * [https://python-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/starting/install/win.html Installing Python on Windows]
+ * [https://python-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/starting/install/osx.html Installing Python on Mac OS X]
+
+Modern linux distributions often already have the required packages available in their repositories:
+ * For Debian (>= 5.0), Ubuntu (>= 9.4), Mint (>= 7) and other Debian or Ubuntu based systems, if you have admin access through sudo you can run
+   {{{
+sudo apt-get install python python-virtualenv
+   }}}
+ * For Fedora (>= 11), Centos (>= 6.4), RHEL (>= 6.4) and other distributions that make use of {{{yum}}} you can try
+   {{{
+sudo yum install python python-virtualenv
+   }}}
+
+Many other linux and *BSD distributions will have their own package management systems and repositories containing the appropriate packages.
