Background
Mifos Installation Guide can be beefed up for the less technical user - this would enable more MFI's We want to enable more MFIs in our community to be able to get started on Mifos themselves. Having a simple install guide with clear directions and screenshots can make the process easier for the less technical user. We've improved our Windows Install Guide but could use similar improvements to the Ubuntu and Mac Install Guides.
- Improved Windows Install Guide
- Current Ubuntu Install Guide

Our Mifos install guide right now Install README is pretty bare , and for a less technical user can be hard to follow. We need someone who can follow the current Install guide and determine and implement improvements to it.made some major improvements to the Windows Install Guide, adding step-by-step directions and screenshots. We'd like to make similar improvements for the Ubuntu and Mac Install Guides.
