+## Installation
+
+### Platform-Specific Installation
+
+#### Windows
+1. **Using pip (recommended)**
+   - Install Python first from [Python Downloads](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/)
+   - Be sure to check "Add Python to PATH" during installation.
+   - Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:
+      ```bash
+      pip install notebook
+      ```
+2. **Using Microsoft Store**
+   - Search for "Python" in the Microsoft Store
+   - Install Python 3.x
+   - Open Command Prompt and run:
+     ```bash
+     pip install notebook
+     ```
+
+#### macOS
+1. **Using pip**
+   Install Python first if not already installed
+   - **Option 1**: Download from [Python Downloads](https://www.python.org/downloads/mac-osx/)
+   - **Option 2**: Using Homebrew
+     ```bash
+     brew install python
+     ```
+   Then install Jupyter Notebook:
+   ```bash
+   pip install notebook
+   ```
+2. **Using Homebrew directly**
+   ```bash
+   brew install jupyter
+   ```
+
+#### Linux
+1. **Debian/Ubuntu**
+   ```bash
+   sudo apt update
+   sudo apt install python3-pip
+   pip3 install notebook
+   ```
+2. **Fedora/RHEL/CentOS**
+   ```bash
+   sudo dnf install python3-pip
+   pip3 install notebook
+   ```
+
+### Using Conda
+
+Conda is recommended if you need to manage multiple Python environments:
+- Install Miniconda or Anaconda first from [Miniconda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html)
+- Create a new environment (recommended):
+  ```bash
+  conda create -n jupyter-env python=3.9
+  conda activate jupyter-env
+  ```
+- Install Jupyter Notebook:
+  ```bash
+  conda install -c conda-forge notebook
+  ```
+
+### Common Installation Issues and Solutions
+
+1. **Permission Errors**
+   - **Windows**: Run Command Prompt as Administrator
+   - **macOS/Linux**: Use `sudo pip install notebook` or `pip install --user notebook`
+
+2. **Outdated pip**
+   - Update pip before installation:
+     ```bash
+     python -m pip install --upgrade pip
+     ```
+
+3. **"Command not found" after installation**
+   - Make sure Python's script directory is in your PATH
+   - **Windows**: Try `py -m notebook` instead of `jupyter notebook`
+   - **macOS/Linux**: Try `python3 -m notebook`
+
+4. **Jupyter command not working after installation**
+   - Try running:
+     ```bash
+     python -m notebook
+     ```
+
+5. **Dependency conflicts**
+   - Use virtual environments:
+     ```bash
+     python -m venv jupyter-venv
+     # On Windows
+     jupyter-venv\Scripts\activate
+     # On macOS/Linux
+     source jupyter-venv/bin/activate
+     pip install notebook
+     ```
