+```
+
+Be sure to replace `<#>` with a number value, such as 2 or 3, depending on

+
+## Windows
+
+Install [Conda package management system](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/download.html).
+Miniconda suffices.
+
+Create if necessary, and activate a Conda environment:

+
+Install `ignition-common`:

+
+### Windows
+
+First, follow the [ign-cmake](https://github.com/ignitionrobotics/ign-cmake) tutorial for installing Conda, Visual Studio, CMake, etc., prerequisites, and creating a Conda environment.
+
+Navigate to `condabin` if necessary to use the `conda` command (i.e., if Conda is not in your `PATH` environment variable. You can find the location of `condabin` in Anaconda Prompt, `where conda`).
+
+Activate the Conda environment:
+```
+conda activate ign-ws
+```
+
+Install prerequisites:
+```
+conda install freeimage gts glib dlfcn-win32 ffmpeg --channel conda-forge
+```
+
+Install Ignition dependencies:
+
+You can view available versions and their dependencies:
+```
+conda search libignition-common* --channel conda-forge --info
+```
+
+Install dependencies, replacing `<#>` with the desired versions:
+```
+conda install libignition-cmake<#> libignition-math<#> --channel conda-forge
+```
+
+## Build from Source
+
+### Ubuntu
+
+1. Clone the repository
+ ```
+ git clone https://github.com/ignitionrobotics/ign-common
+ ```
+
+2. Configure and build
+ ```
+ cd ign-common
+ mkdir build
+ cd build
+ cmake ..
+ make
+ ```
+
+3. Optionally, install
+ ```
+ sudo make install
+ ```
+
+### Windows
+
+This assumes you have created and activated a Conda environment while installing the Prerequisites.
+
+1. Navigate to where you would like to build the library, and clone the repository.
+ ```
+ # Optionally, append `-b ign-common#` (replace # with a number) to check out a specific version
+ git clone https://github.com/ignitionrobotics/ign-common.git
+ ```
+
+2. Configure and build
+ ```
+ cd ign-common
+ mkdir build
+ cd build
+ cmake .. -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF # Optionally, -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=path\to\install
+ cmake --build . --config Release
+ ```
+
+3. Optionally, install
+ ```

@@ -127,16 +127,15 @@ If the profiler is run successfully, you should see output in a browser. Similar
 If you see ``connection error``, there are a couple of things to double check
 1. Was the profiler enabled when the project you're trying to run was compiled? Note that this isn't the case if you installed Ignition libraries from binaries, for example. You need to compile the project from source with the `ENABLE_PROFILER` variable set.
 2. Are you using the correct port number in the upper left corner ``Connection Addresss: ws://127.0.0.1:1500/rmt``? Running ``ign gazebo -v 4`` will show the port number in use near the top of the outputted text. The port number will be printed out if the profiler is enabled.

- ```
+ ```{.sh}
+ [Dbg] [RemoteryProfilerImpl.cc:187] Starting ign-common profiler impl: Remotery (port: 1500)
+ ```
 3. Are you running the program in a separate terminal? The profiler only establishes connection if there is a program running and being actively profiled.
 
 4. If you want to use a different port, configure the environment variable `RMT_PORT` by running the following in terminal, and update the web viewer port in your browser accordingly (see 2 above)
-  ```{.sh}
-  export RMT_PORT=1500
