With both "installing" and "working for people" parts

+ + + INSTALLING + + +
STEP 1) Copy this link into your browser:  https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.12/python-2.7.12.msi
It will be the installer for Python 2.7.12
Wait until it is totally downloaded, then click for opening it
ATTENTION: If, just because strange things happen, you have already a Python version in your PC, assure it is 2.7.xx and not Python 3.x.x... If it is so, try to un-install it as much as you can.

STEP 2) Install Python: just keep on pressing "Next" and install Python.
If all goes well, the location of Python is C:\Python27
+++ATTENTION+++: If the first window is something like "change/repair/remove", you had installed Python before and it didn't go good.
TRY AS MUCH AS YOU CAN IN ORDER TO HAVE A CLEAN INSTALLATION.
If you do not success at it, do as follows:
--Click on the Python installation file
--- Then, click on "Change Python"
----Then, choose the "feature will be totally installed on the local hard drive" option on each feature EXCEPT THE LAST ONE, something like ".py to EXE"
If all goes well, the message below the "installation tree" will say that the installation will require 26MB and it will contain 6 features. If so, it is okay: install everything, let the programme work and click Finish only when it appears. During the installation, DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING, even when a .cmd window will open on its own.


STEP 3) Copy this link into your browser: https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
It will be the "pip" installer for Python
Wait until it is totally downloaded, and do not open it. Just click save (this is just a security check)
ATTENTION: Some browsers may show "get pip.py" as a page full of text. I specifically tried with Chrome: page with text.
In this case, right-click on the page and choose "Save as..." on the coming menu. It should save the Whole page as a "get pip" Python file.
[For example, on Microsoft Edge, it auto-downloads the file. I don't know why, though.]
///Thanks to PowerShellAnon for this alert\\\

STEP 4) Go to the Download folder in your computer, double click on get-pip (it may be called get-pip.py, too: it is normal)
It will open a "cmd" window: let it work. First, it will un-install the outdated version of pip, then install the new one
DO NOT CLOSE ANYTHING UNTIL THE CMD WINDOWS DISAPPEARS: it will do it, just wait a little.
If all goes well, there is a folder called "Scripts" into C:\Python27. DO NOT CANCEL ANYTHING.
If there is nothing, uninstall Python and try again.

STEP 5) Copy this link into your browser: a.pomf.cat/ntmscw.rar
It will download a .zip file.
Unzip it: there is a folder called "POKEMONGO"
Open it: there are 5 subfolders and 10 files.
Copy those 5 subfolders and those 10 files into a new folder, called "PokemonGO" or whatever you want, on your desktop.
It seems stupid, but it makes things easier on the long run.

STEP 6) Copy the file "requirements.txt" (it is above the  "transform" file) and paste it into C:\Python27\Scripts (the SCRIPTS folder in your PYTHON27 folder)

STEP 7) Press SHIFT (the key under CAPS LOCK) and RIGHT-click on C:\Python27

STEP 8) Choose the "open command window here" option

STEP 9) Write this thing into the console: setx PATH C:\Python27. If all went well, it should say something about a well-done operation or something like that. Then, close the window.

STEP 10) Press SHIFT (the key under CAPS LOCK) and RIGHT-click on C:\Python27\Scripts

STEP 11) Choose the "open command window here" option

STEP 12) Write this thing into the console: pip install -r requirements.txt
ATTENTION: It will may take several minutes to install everything
ATTENTION: If it fails to load something and red letters appear, there is something wrong and you will have to restart everything
ATTENTION: If it all went well, there may be green letters (I saw just bunch of sub-programs being installed successfully, all may happen)

STEP 13) Go to this link: https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-trainer-club/login
and create a new account, with its password.
ATTENTION: KEEP BOTH ACCOUNT NICKNAME AND PASSWORD IN MIND

STEP 14) Do you remember the "PokemonGO" folder we created during Step 5? Press SHIFT (the key under CAPS LOCK) and RIGHT-click on it.
Choose the "open command window here" option, then.

STEP 15) Write this thing into the console: python example.py -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -l "xx.xxx yy.yyy" -st 10
ATTENTION:
USERNAME can be the one you chose for your account or pokemonscan
PASSWORD can be the one you chose for your account or 123456
xx.xxx and yy.yyy are coordinates (check the example below for getting coordinates)

+++ HOW TO GET COORDINATES WITH GOOGLE MAPS +++
A) Search your position on Google MAPS
B) A RED ARROW will appear in the exact position you are at the moment
C) Now, click on a place VERY CLOSE to the RED ARROW
D) If all went well, there will be a little circle with a GREY ARROW inside it
E) Therefore, there will be a small White box in the bottom part of your browser window. Last two numbers are coordinates.
+
+
+
Let's make an example:
There is a member called pokemonscan and its password is 123456.
I chose a random place in France, whose coordinates are 48.299734, 4.090735
You can see where you are on Google Maps and click into the map: it will provide you a window like this one: http://i.imgur.com/qoN8p3Z.png
(I suggest switching to "Earth" mode)

Therefore, the total message will be:  python example.py -u pokemonscan -p 123456 -l " 48.299734 4.090735" -st 10
+++ ATTENTION +++
ATTENTION: You can use pokemonscan as user and 123456 as a password
(ATTENTION: these kind of accounts get banned quite quickly, due to many users using its credentials all at the same time. If a map appears, but it is blank, change account and use your own one.
We will provide new fake scan-accounts whenever it is needed, though.)

So, the message will be python example.py -u pokemonscan -p 123456 -l " coordinate1 coordinate2" -st 10
+
+
+
ATTENTION: the symbol before coordinates in not a 1, number ONE, but a little "l", the l as in "little"
ATTENTION: coordinates must be written without a comma between them
ATTENTION: Coordinates MUST have the " ": so, it will be "coordinate1 coordinate2". There are no other options
ATTENTION: -st 10 checks a radius around you: the more bigger the value next to "-st" is, the farther the program will check

Some nice characteristics make the scan...spicier:
+ + + ATTENTION:  FOLLOWING COMMANDS ALL GO AFTER -st + + +
+ + + ATTENTION:  FOLLOWING COMMANDS ARE OPTIONAL: MANDATORY COMMANDS ARE -u, -p, -l and -st + + +
-dp gives Pokestops in the area, it says if a Pokestop has a lure on itself and when said lure will expire
-dp gives Gyms in the area and which team is controlling it
-i ignores Pokemon, separated by commas:
>>>>> ATTENTION: -i works like this:
>>>>>> -i "FirstPokemon, SecondPokemon, ThirdPokemon..."
>>>>>>>> ATTENTION: the name of the Pokemon must start with a capital letter, so something like A B C D E F ...
>>>>>>>>>> ATTENTION: Names of Pokemon must be separated by commas
>>>>>>>>>>> ATTENTION: " goes before the name of FirstPokemon and after the name of LastPokemon, so like:
>>>>>>>>>>>> -i "FirstMon, SecondMon, ThirdMon, FourthMon, LastMon"

-o is "-i" opposite: it will only search desired Pokemon
>>>>> ATTENTION: -o works like this:
>>>>>> -o "FirstPokemon, SecondPokemon, ThirdPokemon..."
>>>>>>>> ATTENTION: the name of the Pokemon must start with a capital letter, so something like A B C D E F ...
>>>>>>>>>> ATTENTION: Names of Pokemon must be separated by commas
>>>>>>>>>>> ATTENTION: " goes before the name of FirstPokemon and after the name of LastPokemon, so like:
>>>>>>>>>>>> -o "FirstMon, SecondMon, ThirdMon, FourthMon, LastMon"

So, a normal line of code may be the following:
python example.py -u pokemonscan -p 123456 -l " 48.299734 4.090732" -st 6 -dp-dg -i "Rattata, Pidgey, Zubat, Doduo"
^                                                                       ^ ^                                       ^
|               Before -st:     MANDATORY PART OF CODE                  | |  After -st:  OPTIONAL PART OF CODE    |
|___________________________(you have to write it EVERYTIME)____________|_|_________(you may not write it)________|
ATTENTION:
Of course, when I say "mandatory", I do not mean that you have to write exactly what I wrote on the cmd, it is an example.
Put your username after -u, your password after -p, the desired location between " after -l, the to-be-ignored Pokemon after -i and between ", as we stated before.

(There are more options, but essentially you only need these ones. You may find more on https://github.com/AHAAAAAAA/PokemonGo-Map)

STEP 16) Wait until some CMD lines are done. It should be saying something like "looping [x]/100", meaning that the programme has tried "x" times to get Pokemons
ATTENTION: When servers don't act properly, they may write a bunch of identical lines saying "retrying" because an "api" is failed.
It is normal, even if annoying.
When servers are down, lines of code as "retrying_api_req" and "retrying_get_profile" will appear in loop.


STEP 17) Open your browser and copy this link:
http://localhost:5000
(It works for IE, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Safari and Opera)
If, somehow, it does not work, try localhost:5000
[It seems that localhost:5000 does not work on Microsoft Edge]


STEP 18) It will give you a map with Pokemons around the designated place whose coordinates were put during step 15 after -l "
If you want to look for another place, press CTRL+C in the CMD window that is open until step 15

+ + + WORKING FOR PEOPLE + + +

GENERAL ERRORS:

"There is a red error message": Python was not installed correctly or there are problems with early version of Python.
Be sure to un-install ALL as much as you can

"When I try to scan, it says error with a latitude": Ask the committer to write coordinates better: when that error happens, it means that latitude was too much or too scarce, happening due to a typo.
If it is correct, try to put a space between " and the first coordinate.


"When I try to scan, scans are slow or give blank maps" : We do not know why, it is probably a data overload.
Still not sure why it does happen, but, for me, closing the cmd console and Google Chrome helped.
Also, the selected account may be banned because of many anons using it at the same time.
If it happens, write in on the thread and some Anon will create a new fake account for scanning.
Be helpful!
