 ## Getting Started
 
 #### Back-End Installation
-Begin by installing the latest version of [Python 3](https://www.python.org/downloads/). Go through the wizard. If you are on Windows make sure to check off **add to environment variables**. This will install *python* or *python3* (if python 2.7 is already installed on your system) globally on your system. The installation of python also calls with *pip* or *pip3* (if python 2.7 is already installed on your system). pip is a package manager for Python.

-First we need to create a virtual environment to install python modules into. 
-```
-$ pip install virtualenv 
-```
-
-We use the virtualenv command followed by the name to create a folder 'venv' in the project. This will not be pushed due to the .gitignore file.
-```
-$ virtualenv venv
-```
-
-Next we want to activate the virtual environment so we can install our project's dependencies there.
-If on Mac or Linux:
-```
-$ . venv/bins/activate
-```
-Else if on Windows:
-```
-$ . venv/Scripts/activate
-```
-
-You should now see *(venv)* before your user name in the shell. Congrats you have a virtual environment. 
-
-Now we can install the requirements for our projects. All of our dependencies are installed.
