ORM comes with batteries included... er... a distutils style setup.py.

1. Get yourself an orm release of your choice, most likely you'd like to take the latest one. Download it to your local machine.

2. Unpack the .tgz archive using:

   tar zxvf orm-latest.tgz
   

   and change into the newly created directory.

3. Here you must byte-compile orm's .py files by issuing:

   python ./setup.py build
   

4. To install orm in your Python interpreter's site-packages/ directory use:

   python ./setup.py install
   

That's it, you're ready to go!
