+### Installing from a VIP Release
+
+*Please Note:* VIP Releases are pre-built packages, GitHub releases (tags) are not. To install from a GitHub release you need to follow instructions 2-5 from the [Working on Ghost Core](#working-on-ghost-core) section.
+
+1.  Once you've downloaded one of the release packages, unzip it, and place the directory wherever you would like to run the code
+2.  Fire up a terminal (or node command prompt in Windows) and change directory to the root of the Ghost application (where config.js and index.js are)
+3.  run `npm install` to install the node dependencies (if you get errors to do with SQLite, please see the compatibility notes)
+4.  To start ghost, run `npm start`
+5.  Visit `http://localhost:2368/` in your web browser
+
+### Logging in For The First Time
+
+Once you have the Ghost server up and running, you should be able to navigate to `http://localhost:2368/ghost` from a web browser, where you will be prompted for a login.
+
+1.  Click on the "register new user" link
+2.  Enter your user details (careful here: There is no password reset yet!)
+3.  Return to the login screen and use those details to log in.

 Pulling down the latest changes from master will often require more than just a pull, you may also need to do one or more of the following:
 
- * **npm install** - fetch any new dependencies
- * **grunt** - will recompile handlebars templates and sass for the admin (as long as you have previously run grunt init to install bourbon)
- * git submodule update - fetch the latest changes to Casper (the default theme)
- * delete core/shared/data/*.db - delete the database and allow Ghost to recreate the fixtures

 ### SQLite3 Install Instructions
 Ghost depends upon SQLite3, which has to be built for each OS. NPM is as smart as it can be about this, and as long as your machine has all the pre-requisites for compiling/building a C++ program, the npm install still works.
