         - We currently use Python 2.7
 
-   2.2- Installing from source

+            the SasView repo at sasview/build_tools/conda/ymls
+
+   2.3- Installing from Source
         - Get the source code
-          - to follow the current development version from source control use
-              git clone https://github.com/SasView/sasview.git
-              git clone https://github.com/Sasview/sasmodels.git
-              git clone https://github.com/bumps/bumps.git
-
-        - Build, install and run a specific release
-          - make sure the requirements below are already installed
-          - retrieve the source from https://github.com/SasView/sasview/releases
-          - open a command line window in the 'sasview-x.x.x' directory
-          - run 'python setup.py install'
-          - run 'python sasview.py' under the 'sasview' folder.
-
-        - Build, install and run the current development version
-          - clone the source from git; also clone bumps, which is developed in parallel
-              git clone https://github.com/SasView/sasview.git
-              git clone https://github.com/Sasview/sasmodels.git
-              git clone https://github.com/bumps/bumps.git
-          - open a command line window in the 'sasview' directory
-          - run 'python setup.py build'
-          - run 'python run.py'; this runs from the source directories, so you
+          - create a folder to contain the source code; if working with
+            multiple versions you might want to use versioned folder names
+            like 'sasview-x.x.x'
+          - open a command line window in the source code folder
+          - to get the CURRENT DEVELOPMENT VERSION from source control use
+              git clone https://github.com/SasView/sasview.git sasview
+              git clone https://github.com/Sasview/sasmodels.git sasmodels
+              git clone https://github.com/bumps/bumps.git bumps
+          - to get a SPECIFIC RELEASE VERSION from source control go to
+              https://github.com/SasView/sasview/releases
+            and download the required zip or tar.gz file. Unzip/untar it
+            to the source code folder.

+   2.4- Building and Installing         
+        - use 'python setup.py build'
+        - use 'python setup.py install'
+        To build the documentation
+          - use'python setup.py docs'
+
+   2.5- Running SasView
+          - use 'python run.py'; this runs from the source directories, so you
             don't have to rebuild every time you make a change, unless you are
-            changing the C model files
-
-        - For the latest list of dependencies see the appropriate yml file in
-          the SasView repo at sasview/build_tools/conda/ymls
+            changing the C model files.
+          - if using Conda the above command will also build SasView, but you 
+            must issue 'activate sasview' first.
