Make sure you have python installed. If not, install it from python.org.
To install the remote python madrigal api from www.openmadrigal.org, you will need to uncompress the file. Then you will need to run
python setupMadrigalWeb.py install
. If you are installing on Windows, you will need to open a command prompt, and then change directory to where you uncompressed the file. From windows the python command may be something likec:\python25\python.exe setupMadrigalWeb.py install
. All the command line scripts (globalIsprint.py, madrigalPColor.py, and madrigalScatter.py) will be put into your PATH and so can be called directly from the command line.
