As of June 2017 we have begun to distribute the Finesse binary files in a Conda package. The Conda package manager is a very useful cross platform tool. You can quickly and painlessly install Finesse on Windows, OSX, and Linux now using this. We highly recommend using Conda as we believe it is the easiest way to manage python packages for scientific computing.

Remember that installing Finesse via Conda will not make Finesse accessible system wide, like if you install the binary yourself. It will only be accessible from the Conda environment you install it in. This typically isn't an issue as you can set your Conda environment to activate when you start your terminal (on OSX and Linux). On Windows, you must run everything from the `Anaconda Prompt` as this correctly sets up your environment.
