 ## PREREQUISITES
 
-You'll need to install various tools to access important but optional features.
-
-The installation process has been greatly streamlined. No need to add 7z to PATH or locate KindleGen from the internet and put it in a special folder with KCC. Just run it and KCC will tell you what to install.
-
-### 7-Zip
-
-#### Windows 7-Zip
-
-First install 7z from https://www.7-zip.org/ or with command line:
-```
-winget install --id 7zip.7zip
-```
-
-#### macOS 7-Zip/Unar
-with [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) installed
-```
-brew install p7zip
-brew install unar
-```
+You'll need to install various tools to access important but optional features. Close and re-open KCC to get KCC to detect them.
 
 ### KindleGen
 
 #### Windows / macOS KindleGen
 
-Install [Kindle Previewer](https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Previewer/b?ie=UTF8&node=21381691011). KCC will automatically detect KindleGen from it.
+Install [Kindle Previewer](https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Previewer/b?ie=UTF8&node=21381691011) and `kindlegen` will be autodetected from it.
+
+If you have issues detecting it, or use another OS, refer to the wiki: https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc/wiki/Installation#kindlegen
+
+### 7-Zip
+
+This is an optional requirement as of KCC 6.1.0. You only need to install it if 1) you are using advanced features, 2) are using Windows 10 (2017) or earlier, or 3) need to use an older KCC version.

+## 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 (venv) 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` files, use [Qt Creator](https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer-oss), included in **Qt for desktop development**.
+Then use the `gen_ui_files` scripts to autogenerate the python UI.
+
+
+### Windows install from source
+
+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
+```
+
+### macOS install from source
+
+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
+```
