+## Installation on Windows - Step by Step
+
+Here is a step by step procedure for Windows:
+
+1. You first need to install Composer. On Windows just [download the
+ installer][composer-installer] and run it.
+2. Open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to the root folder of
+ your MediaWiki installation. That's the one with the
+ `LocalSettings.php` file in it.
+3. For MediaWiki 1.22 and 1.23 you need to copy the file
+ `composer.json.example` to `composer.json`. For this, select
+ `composer.json.example`, press Ctrl+C, then Ctrl+V and then rename
+ the copy to `composer.json`.
+4. Right-click on the new file and select *Use composer here*. A
+ command line window will open.
+5. On the command line run the command
+ `composer require "mediawiki/chameleon-skin:~1.0"`
+6. If there were no errors, close the command line window.
+7. Open `LocalSettings.php` in an editor capable to do UNIX style line
+ endings (e.g. [Notepad++][] or [Kate][], but *not* the standard Notepad!)
+ Include `$wgDefaultSkin='chameleon';` as
+ the last line. Save the file and close the editor.
+8. Open your wiki in a browser. Chameleon should be installed.
+9. If not, force reload the page to
+ [refresh your browser cache][cache-refresh]. (Press Ctrl+F5 on Firefox,
+ Ctrl+Shift+F5 on Internet Explorer.)
