Installation
############
+.. note::
+
+ **Keep the following in mind**
+
+ - AstroConda supports Linux (>=glibc-2.12) and OS X (>= 10.7; 10.6 is NOT supported); Running Python 2.7, 3.4, or 3.5.
+ - If IRAF is required as part of your personal workflow it is *highly recommended* you install Anaconda2 (`FAQ <faq.html#why-is-iraf-pyraf-less-functional-under-python-3>`_).
+ - Otherwise choose the Anaconda installer best suited for your scripting needs.
+
+.. note::
+
+ This documentation specifically targets Anaconda3 installations.
+ However, the same commands should still work interchangeably between versions.
