title: Installing IPython 0.12 on Windows 7 64
body: <p>I read the installation notes <a href="http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/rel-0.12/install/install.html#windows" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. The installation notes say that for Windows 7 64 I should probably follow this  method:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Install from source, but using setuptools (python setupegg.py
    install).</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So I first installed Python 2.7.2 using the official binaries: <code>python-2.7.2.amd64.msi</code> and later downloaded <code>ipython-0.12-py2.7.egg</code> which I understand has the source for IPython.</p>
  
  <p>However, I could not find any file called <code>setupegg.py</code> after decompressing <code>ipython-0.12-py2.7.egg</code>. Is this file part of the <code>.egg</code> file I downloaded or should I get it from somewhere else?</p>
  
  <p>Also, is there anything else I need to install in order to use the new IPython notebook?</p>
