Once you have virtualenv installed, you will install be able to run::

$ cd code

$ git clone git@github.com:YOUR_USERNAME/hfoss.git

$ virtualenv --no-site-packages -p python2 hfossenv

$ . hfossenv/bin/activate

On Windows

At the windows command prompt::

$ virtualenv --no-site-packages -p python2 hfossenv

$ hfossenv/Scripts/activate.bat

$ git clone git@github.com:YOUR_USERNAME/hfoss.git

Back in the windows command prompt::
