* Download and install Python 2.x [http://www.python.org/download/ Link to Python Download] don't worry about tkinter etc it usually installs with Python. (there is a version on the page that includes a windows msi installer, you can accept the default install folders)
 
* Download and install Psyco [http://psyco.sourceforge.net/download.html Link to Psyco Download] ([http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml#psyco Psyco Binaries for Python 2.6.x]) this speeds up the running of skeinforge.(again you can accept the default install folders) Attention: Psyco doesn't work on 64Bit Systems yet! If you use a 64Bit System you can ignore this step and head on to the next.
 
* Download Skeinforge [http://code.google.com/p/replicatorg/downloads/detail?name=skeinforge-0007-r0.zip&can=2&q= Link to Skeinforge Download] Unzip to a folder (without spaces in the path -usually into the root of c:\) Open the skeinforge folder and find the file "skeinforge.py" (a good idea is to place a shortcut to this on the desktop) ... double click to run it.

*[[File:skeinforge_profiles.jpg|170px|frame|Skeinforge: Profiles folder]]To install a profile put the folder that contains the profile, let's say it is called 'rapman ABS' in the folder 'profiles' located in the 'skeinforge_application' folder.
 
*[[File:skeinforge_del_profiles.jpg|170px|frame|Skeinforge: Non working Delete button]]The 'delete profiles' Button in Skeinforges profiles dialogue seems not to work up till now. So how to get rid of profiles you created within skeinforge? There is a hidden folder in your user folder called '.skeinforge' which contains a folder called 'profiles' where all the profiles you create from within Skeinforge are stored in. On a Mac: In the Finder Menubar pick 'Go'->'Go to Folder' and type "/Users/''your user account name here"/.skeinforge"
