Before you can go on, you need to install Python:

• Download Python 2.7.x from https://www.python.org/ (NOT Python 3!)

  Warning

  At the time of writing, Python 2.7.10 was just released. It doesn't work for compiling the OpenWSN code in emulation mode, for the reasons detailed in http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.cython.user/13394. At the time of writing, we recommend you use Python 2.7.9. Let's hope Python 2.7.11 fixes this bug. If you read this and Python 2.7.11 was already released and works, please edit this page, or leave a comment at the bottom.
