Installation
------------
-bzr has a standard python ``setup.py`` script.
-
-To install it system-wide::
-
- # python ./setup.py install
-
-Alternatively you can simply put the source directory on $PYTHONPATH
-and $PATH.
+The best way to install bzr is to symlink the ``bzr`` command onto a
+directory on your path. For example::
+
+ ln -s ~/work/bzr/bzr ~/bin/bzr
+
+If you use a symlink for this, Python will be able to automatically
+find the bzr libraries. Otherwise you must ensure they are listed on
+your $PYTHONPATH.
