cd %path_to_pandaprosumer%\pandaprosumer-x.x.x\
Install pandaprosumer by running:
python setup.py install

To install the latest development version of pandaprosumer from github, simply follow these steps:

Download and install git.
Open a git shell and navigate to the directory where you want to keep your pandaprosumer repository.

Run the following git command:

git clone https://github.com/senergyNets/pandaprosumer.git

Navigate inside the repository and check out the develop branch:
```
cd pandaprosumer
git checkout develop
```
Open a command prompt (cmd, git bash or miniconda command prompt) and navigate to the folder where the pandaprosumer files are located. Run:
```
pip install -e .
```
