+## INSTALL FROM SOURCE
+
+This section is for developers who want to contribute to KCC or power users who want to run the latest code without waiting for an official release.
+
+Easiest to use [GitHub Desktop](https://desktop.github.com) to clone the KCC repo. From GitHub Desktop, click on `Repository` in the toolbar, then `Command Prompt` (Windows)/`Terminal` (Mac) to open a window in the KCC repo. 
+
+Depending on your system [Python](https://www.python.org) may be called either `python` or `python3`. We use virtual environments to manage dependencies.
+
+If you want to edit the code, a good code editor is [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com).
+
+If you want to edit the UI, install Qt Creator, included in **Qt for desktop development**. https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer-oss
+
+### Windows
+
+One time setup and running for the first time:
+```
+python -m venv venv
+venv\Scripts\activate.bat
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+python kcc.py
+```
+
+Every time you close Command Prompt, you will need to re-activate the virtual environment and re-run:
+
+```
+venv\Scripts\activate.bat
+python kcc.py
+```
+
+### Mac
+
+One time setup and running for the first time:
+```
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+python kcc.py
+```
+
+Every time you close Terminal, you will need to reactivate the virtual environment and re-run:
+
+```
+source venv/bin/activate
+python kcc.py
+```
+
 
 ### Standalone `kcc-c2e.py` usage:
