+# Software installation on Windows
+
+To follow the course practicals, you need a terminal and
+[Git](http://git-scm.com/), both of which are easy to install on
+[Linux](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux) or Mac OSX. For Windows, there are
+a number of options, described below.
+
+
+## MobaxTerm
+
+Most light-weight is to install something like
+[MobaXterm](http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/), which provides a terminal emulator
+and can install other software from the Linux platform such as Git.
+
+After opening MobaxTerm, use the following to install Git:
+
+    apt-get install git libopenssl100
+
+
+## VirtualBox
+
+Using [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/), you can run a complete Linux
+installation in a virtual machine from Windows. For example, create a new
+virtual machine with VirtualBox and install [Ubuntu](http://www.ubuntu.com/) in
+it.
+
+
+## Work on a remote machine
+
+If you have an account on a remote Linux machine, you can connect to that using
+[PyTTY](http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html) or
+[MobaXterm](http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/) and work from there.
