+<h3><a name="install">Installing KStars</a></h3>
+<ul>
+
+	<li><b>Microsoft (R) Windows (TM):</b> Download the KDE for
+	Windows Installer from <a href="http://www.winkde.org/pub/kde/ports/win32/installer/kdewin-installer-gui-latest.exe">here</a>.
+	Follow through the first few steps of the wizard (For most people: Choose Install from the Internet, set your installation path, End-User mode, MSVC, 
+	set the download path, setup a proxy if required, choose the mirror nearest to you, and choose the latest stable release).
+	When presented with the package selection screen, select "kstars" under "kdeedu" (Type 'kstars' in the 'Filter' box to find it faster). 
+	The installer will automatically find which other libraries and KDE components are required by KStars in order to function, and show you a list. Just click next. 
+	The installer will then download and install KStars and the other required components, and do some post processing and finish.
+	You should now find KStars in your start menu.
+
+	<li><b>GNU/Linux:</b> On most distributions, KStars can be installed from your distribution's package manager (eg: Synaptic in Ubuntu). 
+	If you cannot find a package called 'KStars', you may need to install a 'kdeedu' package that contains all of the KDE Edu suite, which KStars is a part of.
+
+	<li><b>Macintosh:</b> See <a href="http://community.kde.org/Mac">this Wiki page</a> for more details. 
+	If you know specific instructions for installing KStars on Mac, please mail the webmasters / the kstars-devel mailing list (kstars-devel at kde dot org), 
+	and we'll update the site with your instructions.
+
+	<li><b>Sources:</b> See <a href="http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Edu/KStars/Building_KStars">Building KStars from Source</a> for more details.
