-====== PIP ======
+====== PIP (Python Modules) ======
+===== Installation =====
+These are general guide lines and not hard and fast rules.
+The recommended method of installing via pip is:
+    python[3] -m pip install --user <somepackage>
+==== System Wide ====
+Installing python modules system wide is normally done when a larger group of people need a particular module.
+==== As a normal user ====
+This is the recommended method of installation. I will refer you to ''%%pip%%'' 's ''%%--user%%'' option install any python module under your user account. These will be installed under ''%%$HOME/.local%%''.
