--------------------------------------------------------------------


1. Unpack the pNbody distribution (the file pNbody-3.0.tgz)
   in your Python extensions directory (if you have one.  If
   not, feel free to unpack it in any other suitable directory).

        $ cd Python-2.5/Extensions # example
        $ tar -xzf pNbody-4.0.tgz


2. Using Python 2.3 or later, you can use the setup.py
   script to build the module.  The following commands should do
   the trick:

        $ python setup.py build
        $ python setup.py install

   (depending on how Python has been installed on your machine,
   you might have to log in as a superuser to run the 'install'
   command.)

   If the setup.py command finishes without any errors, you're
   done!
