 =======================
 
-We recommend use of `virtualenv`_ to create Python_ sandboxes where you
-can run your code without touching any other installations.
-
-If you don't already have ``easy_install`` available, you can find the
-script to set it up on the `PEAK EasyInstall page`_.
-
-.. _`PEAK EasyInstall page`: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#installing-easy-install
-
-You need to download `ez_setup.py`_. Then, you run it like this to
-install ``easy_install`` into your system Python::
-
-  $ sudo python2.7 ez_setup.py
-
-.. _`ez_setup.py`: http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
-
-This will make ``easy_install`` available to you.
-
-.. note:: Sometimes you have ``easy_install`` installed but you need a
-          newer version of the underlying setuptools infrastructure to
-          make Grok work. You can upgrade setuptools with::
-
-            $ sudo easy_install -U setuptools
-
-Now you can install `virtualenv` by doing (as root)::
-
-  # easy_install-2.7 virtualenv
-
-This step will fetch all needed sources from the internet and install
-`virtualenv` locally in your Python2.7 installation.
+We strongly suggest use of `virtualenv`_ to create Python_ sandboxes
+where you can run your code without touching any other installations.
+
+`virtualenv`_ is also the only possibility to build a `Kofa` install
+without the need of superuser permissions. In short: `virtualenv`_
+will make your life easier. Use it.
+
+Detailed install instructions for `virtualenv`_ can be found on
+http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/virtualenv.html#installation.
+
+The short way for a user install (no superuser perms required) is like
+this::
+
+  $ curl -O https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-1.11.4.tar.gz#md5=9accc2d3f0ec1da479ce2c3d1fdff06e
+  $ tar xvfz virtualenv-1.11.4.tar.gz
+  $ cd virtualenv-1.11.4
+  $ python virtualenv.py py27
+
+Superusers can install `virtualenv`_ system-wide much easier. On
+`Debian`_/`Ubuntu`_ systems where you have superuser permissions, you
+can install `virtualenv`_ via::
+
+  $ sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
+
+*Or*, if `pip` is installed already (superusers can install it via ``sudo apt-get install python-pip`` on `Debian`_/`Ubuntu`_)::
+
+  $ sudo pip install virtualenv
+
+In the following, when referring to the `virtualenv` command, we talk
+of the system-wide available command or the ``virtualenv.py`` script
+installed for a local user. In the latter case you should read::
+
+  $ virtualenv ...
+
+as::
+
+  $ python /path/to/my/virtualenv.py ...
