<p>If you already have a 1.x tree or an existing 2.x tree, you are better off
following the <i>upgrade</i> instructions at

+<a href="upgrade-tinyos.html">upgrade-tinyos.html</a>. There are several ways to install
+ TinyOS. The first way is to install a live CD that gives
+ you a virtualized Linux with a complete TinyOS install. Note that since
+ this is on a CD, you can't modify anything; you can, however, make
+ a LiveUSB device to use as your TinyOS install. The second way is
+ to a Ubuntu-based virtual machine directly on your hard drive. The final way is to
+ install TinyOS on your host operating system. When installing
+ on a host operating system, you can either use a debian package
+ repository or manually instally with RPMs.</p>
+
+ <p>Of the four options, installing a VM image is simplest.
+ Using a Live CD lets you try out TinyOS without installing it on your
+ drive. Debian packages are the simplest and best way to install TinyOS
+ on your host operating system. RPMs are mostly a stand-by for RedHat
+ or other Linux distributions, as well as Windows/Cygwin users. If you
+ are using Cygwin, we strongly recommend using a VM image, unless you
+ are completely unfamiliar with UNIX tools such as editors (xemacs, vi)
+ and the shell,

installing Cygwin, which is a UNIX-like environment. The steps are:</p>
