Back to the instructions
0: Clone the repository using the Git GUI and check out the correct branch/version

For Visual Studio

0: Start up a developer command prompt

1: Create a virtual environment: mkvirtualenv Augur_env
(This creates it at C:\Users<username>.virtualenvs\augur_env
Create a directory where you want to link the virtual directory to and cd into it e.g.
C:\Users<username>\Augur_env
Activate the virtual environment:
setprojectdir .

Note: if you already have the environment then the creation won't work and you need to type workon Augur_env

2: Start the installation process
a) cd into the GIT directory (e.g. C:\GIT\CHAOSS)
b) type nmake install
c) go grab a coffee whilst the installation happens
d) don't choose the webpage option for installing the credentials

3: Run Augur_env => to be continued
