+ + + 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 First, it will un-install the outdated version of pip, then install the new one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: https://github.com/AHAAAAAAA/PokemonGo-Map/archive/master.zip
If it does not work, click on "Download", the green button on the right, at this link: https://github.com/AHAAAAAAA/PokemonGo-Map
It will download a .zip file.
Unzip it: there is a folder called "PokemonGo-Map-Master"
Open it: there are 6 subfolders and 11 files.
Copy those 6 subfolders and those 11 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 this link into your browser: https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-trainer-club/login
Create a new account, with its password. I suggest using a simple nickname and a password like "123456", to make things faster.
ATTENTION: KEEP BOTH ACCOUNT NICKNAME AND PASSWORD IN MIND

Step 7) Copy this link into your browser: https://goo.gl/No1AcQ
It may ask you to login with your Google Account.
Wait until "Register your application for Google Maps JavaScript API[...]" appears.
Select "No" under "Please email me updates[...]", but "YES" under "I agree that my use of any services[...]"
Click on "Agree and Continue"
Now, wait a little bit, until a page with "Credential", written on top, appears.
Click on the blue button with "Create" on it
Wait until a WHITE BOX appears: it should say "API KEY: HERE IS YOUR API KEY" and a long string of characters inside. It should be like "AIza[...]"
Copy the entire code on a notepad file.
Save that notepad file: it is very, very important.

Step 8) Into the PokemonGO folder we have created at step 5, there is a folder called "config".
Open it.
There will be a file called "credential.json"
Open it with Notepad.
There will be a thing like:

 {
  "gmaps_key" : ""
 }

Copy the code we have created on step 7 between the " after the comma.
ATTENTION: IT MUST NOT BE SEPARATED BY SPACE, SO IT HAS TO BE LIKE THIS:

 {
  "gmaps_key" : "AIzaxxxxxxxxxxx"
 }

STEP 9) Into the PokemonGO folder we have created at step 5, open the "Easy Setup" folder.
There will be a file called "setup".
Open it: at first, it will say something like "Successful Operation", BUT DO NOT CLOSE THE CMD WINDOW.
It will install many subprograms: let it work.
At some point, the programme will ask you for the API Key, the line of letters we have created at step 7. Type it into the CMD, paying attention to eventual capital letters or symbols.
If it goes fine, it will say "All done" and it will ask to press any key to continue. Press any key to continue, of course.
It will close the CMD window.

Step 10) Close every window you have opened.

Step 11) Press SHIFT (the key under CAPS LOCK) and RIGHT-click on POKEMONGO, the folder we have created at step 5

STEP 12) Choose the "open command window here" option

STEP 13) 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)
When all it is finished, the window may still be there. Close it.

Step 14) Press SHIFT (the key under CAPS LOCK) and RIGHT-click on POKEMONGO, the folder we have created at step 5

STEP 15) Choose the "open command window here" option

STEP 16) In the CMD windoes that appears, write this thing:

python runserver.py -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -l "xx.xxx yy.yyy"  -t 1 -st 6 -k APIKEY
ATTENTION: USERNAME has to be replaced with the one you created during step 6 or you can use pokemonscan
ATTENTION: PASSWORD has to be replaced with the one you created during step 6 or you can use 123456
ATTENTION: APIKEY has to be replaced with the one you created during step 7
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)
Its Api Key is AIza111111

Therefore, the total message will be:  python runserver.py -u pokemonscan -p 123456 -l "48.299734 4.090735" -st 6 -k AIza111111

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 6 checks a radius around you: the more bigger the value next to "-st" is, the farther the program will check
+
+
+
+++ ATTENTION +++
You can use pokemonscan as user and 123456 as a password
(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, or it has very much less Pokemon than usual,  change account and use your own one. We will provide new fake scan-accounts whenever it is needed, though.)

STEP 16) Wait until some CMD lines are done. It should be saying something like "Scanning[x]/[y] has started", 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 "
Next to "PokemonGoMAP", there is a part called "Options":

Where there is "Change your location", you can now type the real address you are now, without coordinates.

You can decide if you want to see Pokemon, Gyms, Pokestops (even lured ones, with expiring time of the lure) and which areas, hexagonal areas, the scanner has looked into.

If you type names of Pokemon, with capital letter at the beginning of them and separated by commas, in "Hide common Pokemon", you won't see them in the map.
For example: if I type in  the "Hide common Pokemon" box, ""Rattata, Doduo, Pidgey", the scan will not make them be seen.

If you type names of Pokemon, with capital letter at the beginning of them and separated by commas, in "Notify of Pokemon", you will have a notification.
For example: if I type in  the "Notify of Pokemon" box, ""Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur", the scan will send a notification if they are scanned.

Also, "Notify with sound" will make a sound if Pokemon written in "Notify of Pokemon" are found.


ATTENTION: If localhost says that there is a problem with GoogleMaps, halt the CMD window, by either closing it or clicking CTRL+C, and then copy the entire message you have written before, but with -t 1 at the end.
So, if it was python runserver.py -u pokemonscan -p 123456 -l "48.299734 4.090735" -st 6 -k AIza111111
Now it will be python runserver.py -u pokemonscan -p 123456 -l "48.299734 4.090735" -st 6 -k AIza111111 -t1
(-t blocks multi-threading, which may cause problems to localhost)


+ + + 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!

"Anon, the scan gives me much less Pokemon than usual"
I feared this moment, but it is so.
It is time to check for develop updates.

+ + + DEVELOP UPDATES + + +

So, you are looking for develop updates.
Pro: many features everyday, generally nicer
Cons: since they are develop updates, things change very quickly. I suggest to update your folder every morning: if the "most-updated" version does not work, do not change the "day-before" version. Developers are strange: they eventually will fix the bug, we just do not know when.

STEP 1) Copy this link into your browser: https://git-scm.com/downloads
Search your OS under "Downloads" and click on it. The download of the programme should immediately start.
It will be the installer for Python 2.7.12
Wait until it is totally downloaded, then click for opening it.
Install it, by clicking "Next" everytime. The standard installation will be fine. Do not click anything more.

STEP 2) 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.
If you remember, at the beginning of this Pastebin, I recommended not to have "change/repair/..." as first window: now, we need it.
Click Change.
Now, it will say "6 out of 7 subfeatures are chosen".
Open the programme tree and click on the last option, something like "EXE to path": choose the second option, "it will be totally installed in local hard drive", and install everything.
Click "Next" until it is totally installed.

STEP 3) Create a new folder in the desktop, called "develop" or what you want.
Right-click on the folder: there are two new options, GIT GUI HERE and GIT BASH HERE.
Choose GIT BASH HERE: a sort of CMD window, but with colours, will appear.
Right click on this colorful CMD window: there is "Paste"
Copy this thing and paste it into the "git" window (the colorful CMD window):
git clone -b develop https://github.com/AHAAAAAAA/PokemonGo-Map.git
Wait for everything to be installed.
If you got it right, into this "develop folder", there will be a folder called "Pokemon-Go-Map", with probably 5 or 6 folders (they may vary, if developers change something; It may happen) and about 8-10 files. See image: a.pomf.cat/vburta.PNG
Copy all those folders and files. See image: a.pomf.cat/uveizs.PNG
Now, paste them in "develop". See image: a.pomf.cat/tudcqi.PNG
They have to be OUTSIDE the Pokemon-Go-Map folder, but inside "develop".
Then, cancel the "PokemonGoMap" folder into this "develop" folder.

STEP 4) Into the PokemonGO folder we have created at step 5, open the "Easy Setup" folder.
There will be a file called "setup".
Open it: at first, it will say something like "Successful Operation", BUT DO NOT CLOSE THE CMD WINDOW.
It will install many subprograms: let it work.
At some point, the programme will ask you for the API Key, the line of letters we have created at step 7 during the "normal" installation. Type it into the CMD, paying attention to eventual capital letters or symbols. Or you can paste it, by copying it and then right-clicking in the CMD window.
If it goes fine, it will say "All done" and it will ask to press any key to continue. Press any key to continue, of course.
It will close the CMD window.

STEP 5) Open "config" folder: there will be a file called "config" or whatever it is now: this file is changed everytime a developer edition is published.
Look for "Google Maps API Key" in config.ini: if there is your key, good; if not, copy-and-paste it, where there is something like "Your GMaps key: "
Now, close every folder and file you have opened before.

STEP 6) Right-click the "develop" folder.
Choose "GIT BASH HERE"
Paste this thing into the git window: pip install -r requirements.txt
Wait for it to install everything. It may be slow, but at this point, all things should be updated.

STEP 7) Now, we can do the normal scan.
Close every window we have opened, right-click on "develop", choose "git bash here" and type

python runserver.py -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -l "xx.xxx yy.yyy" -st 6
As we have stated many times during this guide:
put your username or pokemonscan instead of USERNAME
put your password or 123456 instead of PASSWORD
your coordinates instead of xx.xxx/yy.yyy

ATTENTION: Some versions may not show at which looping step we are. It happens, don't worry.

STEP 8)
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 9) It will give you a map with Pokemons around the designated place whose coordinates were put during step 15 after -l "
Next to "PokemonGoMAP", there is a part called "Options":

Where there is "Change your location", you can now type the real address you are now, without coordinates.

You can decide if you want to see Pokemon, Gyms, Pokestops (even lured ones, with expiring time of the lure) and which areas, hexagonal areas, the scanner has looked into.

If you type names of Pokemon, with capital letter at the beginning of them and separated by commas, in "Hide common Pokemon", you won't see them in the map.
For example: if I type in  the "Hide common Pokemon" box, ""Rattata, Doduo, Pidgey", the scan will not make them be seen.

If you type names of Pokemon, with capital letter at the beginning of them and separated by commas, in "Notify of Pokemon", you will have a notification.
For example: if I type in  the "Notify of Pokemon" box, ""Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur", the scan will send a notification if they are scanned.

Also, "Notify with sound" will make a sound if Pokemon written in "Notify of Pokemon" are found.


ATTENTION: If localhost says that there is a problem with GoogleMaps, halt the CMD window, by either closing it or clicking CTRL+C, and then copy the entire message you have written before, but with -t 1 at the end.
So, if it was python runserver.py -u pokemonscan -p 123456 -l "48.299734 4.090735" -st 6 -k AIza111111
Now it will be python runserver.py -u pokemonscan -p 123456 -l "48.299734 4.090735" -st 6 -k AIza111111 -t1
(-t blocks multi-threading, which may cause problems to localhost)


------
Now, do this thing everytime you download a new develop folder, but a piece of advice: do not quickly cancel the "day-before" folder, because there may be bugs in the version you downloaded today.
Either you check if there are solutions here: https://github.com/AHAAAAAAA/PokemonGo-Map/issues
or stay with the old one, waiting for a better version to be updated.
