+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
 
-#### Optional dependencies
-- Qt platform integration plugin for Deepin Desktop Environment
-```bash
-$ sudo apt-get install qt5dxcb-plugin
-```
+On Windows and macOS, install [Kindle Previewer](https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Previewer/b?ie=UTF8&node=21381691011) and `kindlegen` will be autodetected from it.
 
-- KindleGen ~~[(deprecated link)](http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000765211)~~ v2.9+  (For MOBI generation) 
-  - should be placed in a directory reachable by your _PATH_ or in _KCC_ directory

+## 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.
+
+An example PR adding a new checkbox is here: https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc/pull/785
+
+
+### 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
+```
+
+You can build a `.exe` of KCC like the downloads we offer with
+
+```
+python setup.py build_binary
+```
+
+### 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
+```
+
+You can build a `.app` of KCC like the downloads we offer with
+
+```
+python setup.py build_binary
+```
