A pre-packaged version of CIS is available for installation using conda for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows.

Once conda is installed, you can easily install CIS with the following command:

If you don’t already have conda, you must first download and install it. Anaconda is a free conda package that includes Python and many common scientific and data analysis libraries, and is available here: http://continuum.io/downloads.
