+Setup without VirtualBox or Vagrant 
+-----------------------------------
+
+For users unable to install VirtualBox or Vagrant you can still get a copy running
+locally. `Fork the code on GitHub`_ and clone it locally by executing the following command, 
+replacing ``USERNAME`` with your GitHub username::
+
+    $ git clone [email protected]:USERNAME/nycpython.com.git
+
+After doing that, create a virtual environment ``nycpythoncom`` with Python 3 as your default interpreter
+and execute the following command to install all the necessary dependencies for this project::
+
+    $ pip install -r requirements.txt 
+
+Next, we'll need to install Redis before we can run the server. Deactivate your virutal environment and see 
+the `Redis Quickstart`_ guide for installation instructions. 
+
+Once you have Redis installed, reactivate your virtual environment and execute the following commands
+to run the nycpython.com server::
+
+    $ redis-server &
+    $ python wsgi.py
