+bzr install instructions
+************************
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+bzr requires Python2.4 and cElementTree:
+
+  http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm
+
+If you wish to access branches over sftp, you will need paramiko and
+pycrypto:
+
+  http://www.lag.net/paramiko/
+
+bzr can optionally use compiled versions of some parts of the code
+for increased speed. When installing bzr you need the ability to
+build C extensions. Some GNU/Linux distributions package the necessary
+headers separately from the main Python package. This package is
+probably named something like python-dev or python-devel. FreeBSD,
+Windows, source-based GNU/Linux distributions, and possibly other operating
+systems, have the required files installed by default.
+
+If you are installing bzr from a bzr branch rather than a release tarball,
+then you should also have the Pyrex package installed. This is not necessary
+for release tarballs as they already contain the C files that Pyrex is needed
+to create.

+
+Installation
+------------
+
+When upgrading using setup.py, it is recommended that you first delete the
+bzrlib directory from the install target.
+
+To install bzr as a user, run
+
+  python setup.py install --home ~ 
+
+To install system-wide, run (as root)
+
+  python setup.py install
+
