-The preferred way to install mitmproxy - whether you're installing the latest
-release or from source - is to use [pip](http://www.pip-installer.org/). If you
-don't already have pip on your system, you can find installation instructions
-[here](http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html).
+## <a id=docUbuntu></a>Installation On Ubuntu
+
+Ubuntu comes with Python but we need to install pip, python-dev and several libraries.  This was tested on a fully patched installation of Ubuntu 14.04.
 
 <pre class="terminal">
-pip install mitmproxy
+$ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev
+
+$ sudo pip install mitmproxy
 </pre>
 
-If you also want to install the optional packages AMF, protobuf and CSS
-content views, do this:
+Once installation is complete you can run <a href="mitmproxy.html">mitmproxy</a> or <a href="mitmdump.html">mitmdump</a> from a terminal.
+
+### Installation From Source
+
+If you would like to install mitmproxy directly from the master branch on GitHub or would like to get set up to contribute to the project, install the dependencies with apt:
 
 <pre class="terminal">
-pip install "mitmproxy[contentviews]"
+$ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev
 </pre>
 
+Then see the <a href="https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/blob/master/README.mkd#hacking">Hacking</a> section of the README on GitHub.
 
-## OSX
 
-The easiest way to get up and running on OSX is to download the pre-built
-binary packages from [mitmproxy.org](http://mitmproxy.org). If you still want
-to install using pip, there are a few things to keep in mind:
+## <a id=docOSX></a>Installation On Mac OS X
 
-- If you're running a Python interpreter installed with homebrew (or similar),
-you may have to install some dependencies by hand. 
-- Make sure that XCode is installed from the App Store, and that the
-command-line tools have been downloaded (XCode/Preferences/Downloads).

-There are a few bits of customization you might want to do to make mitmproxy
-comfortable to use on OSX. The default color scheme is optimized for a dark
-background terminal, but you can select a palette for a light terminal
-background with the --palette option. You can use the OSX <b>open</b> program
-to create a simple and effective <b>~/.mailcap</b> file to view request and
-response bodies:

+## <a id=docWindows></a>Installation On Windows
+
+Please note that mitmdump is the only component of mitmproxy that is supported on Windows.
+
+Install the latest version of Python 2 from the <a href="https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/">Python website</a>.  The Windows MSI installer is fairly straightforward and even includes pip as long as you are installing a version of Python 2 after 2.7.9.  For the most part, you can accept the defaults but one option you should change during installation is "Add python.exe to Path".  This will make it easier to run Python.
