+## 2. Manual Installation
-=================
+
+### 2.1 Prerequisite Software
+
+  Before running mifos platform you must have the following software installed:
+  - Oracle Java - JDK/JRE 1.6 (NOT 1.7) (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html)
+  - Oracle MySQL - (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/)
+  - Apache Tomcat 7 - (http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi)
+
+### 2.2 MySQL Setup
+
+  Assumption: MySQL server is now installed.
+  
+  You should know your password for MySQL root user. If you wish you can change it by doing:
+  ```
+  mysqladmin -u root -p 'oldpassword' password newpassword
+  ```
+  The mifosplatform settings default to a mysql root user with username: root, password: mysql
+  
+  If you have never installed mifosplatform before follow section 2.2.1 for first time setup of database, otherwise read section 2.2.2 on database upgrades.
+  
+#### 2.2.1 First Time Database setup
+
+  Mifos platform has support for hosting multiple tenants so we use two database schemas:
+   - *mifosplatform-tenants*: which is responsible for persisting the tenant information which is used when deciding what schema each incoming request in the platform should route to. It acts as a registry which contains the details of all the tenant databases, and their connection information, which is used by MifosX to connect to the appropriate tenant.
+   - *mifostenant-default*: All tenant specific schemas follow the pattern mifostenant-xxxx, out of the box the default schema is used.
+   
+  Step one: create mifosplatform-tenants database
+  ```
+  mysql -uroot -pmysql
+  create database `mifosplatform-tenants`;
+  exit
+  ```
+
+  Step two:
