Download and install Ximenez

Supposing you have installed Python, you can install Ximenez via an egg with easy_install or from the sources if you prefer it the old way.

Install via an egg

This is the recommended method.

If you need to install easy_install, see easy_install installation page. If you do not want to bother reading this page, here is a shorter how-to:

$ wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
$ python ez_setup.py

Now that you are ready:

Make sure that your easy_install installation is up to date by running:
```
$ easy_install -U setuptools
```
Then run the following command:
```
$ easy_install ximenez
```

That's it.

If you do not want to use easy_install, you can use the "traditional" method:

Download sources (either from the latest tarball or from the SVN repository).
Run:
```
$ python setup.py build
```
And then run (you may need to be a super-user to do that):
```
$ python setup.py install
```

You should now have:

>>> import ximenez

a ximenez program which may or may not be in your path, depending on your installation.
