A working compilation chain is needed to build the modules that include C

`Twisted Web <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads/>`_ and `libgecode
<http://www.gecode.org/>`_ will help.
-To install |cubicweb| and its dependencies, just run::
+For Debian, these minimal dependencies can be obtained by doing::
+
+ apt-get install gcc python-pip python-dev python-lxml
+
+or, if you prefer to get as much as possible from pip::
+
+ apt-get install gcc python-pip python-dev libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev
+
+For Windows, you can install pre-built packages (possible `source
+<http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/>`_). For a minimal setup, install
+`pip <http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pip>`_, `setuptools
+<http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#setuptools>`_, `libxml-python

+<http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#lxml>`_ and `twisted
+<http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#twisted>`_ from this source making
+sure to choose the correct architecture and version of Python.
+
+Finally, install |cubicweb| and its dependencies, by running::
pip install cubicweb
-There is also a wide variety of :ref:`cubes <AvailableCubes>`. You can access a
