+Note that in order to build the documentation, you will require a version of GNU Make (the {{{make}}} command). On Linux, you can obtain this with your package manager. On Windows 7, activate your new conda environment and run the following:
+{{{
+conda install -c conda-forge make
+}}}
+On Windows 10, you may find that the {{{make}}} command does not work with the above method. You can find a Windows-compatible build of GNU Make here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm
+Ensure that you add the install directory to your PATH.

+On Windows, as of July 2018, you will need to install Build Tools for Visual Studio 2015. This is found under the 2017 label, confusingly: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2017
+Download the installer and run it. Find "Visual Studio Build Tools 2017" and click Install. In the window that appears, navigate to "Individual components" and ensure that "VC++ 2015.3 v14.00 (v140) toolset for desktop" and a relevant Windows SDK (e.g. Windows 10 SDK, if you are using Windows 10) are selected. Finally, click Install.

 You can now run {{{python run.py}}} as usual to start the application.
