ASV can perform two distinct functions, seperately or together:

  * Operate as a Python module
  * Operate as an executeable program

In either mode you *must* have Python 2.0 or greater already installed on your
computer.



  Installing ASV to operate as a Python module
 ==============================================

Copy ASV.py into your Python path, preferably into the site-packages directory.


For Unix users this will probably be one of:

  /usr/lib/python2.0/site-packages
  /usr/local/lib/python2.0/site-packages

Where `2.0' is the version of your Python installation.



  Installing ASV to operate as an executeable program
 =====================================================

Unix:

  cp ASV.py /usr/local/bin/asv
  chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/asv

Windows:

  copy ASV.py somewhere into your path (such as C:\Windows)
  make sure the .py extension is associated with your Python
    executeable
