Note: (Pieter) To set up FLORISSE standalone, set up python with numpy, cython and a compiler. On Windows 7, I used the Anaconda python package (32-bit version), which has the Cython and MinGW compiler included, and I used these instructions to set up the compiler (http://docs.cython.org/src/tutorial/appendix.html, with the Anaconda installation path instead of standard Python path) and then the above installation line within the Anaconda Command Prompt. 64-bit has issues because MinGW does not support it yet, and Visual Studio / SDK does not work well.
