Install psyced on Unix™

You need to download both a psyced and a psyclpc snapshot as provided above. To install psyced, extract the psyced-*.tar.bz2 file by tar xjvf filename. After that, switch to the directory extracted from the archive using cd psyc*, move the psyclpc snapshot into it (don't unpack it!) and run ./install.sh. Read also the installation manual in that directory.

Install psyced on Mac OSX™

Install Xcode-Tools, then continue as if your Mac™ was just another Unix.

Install psyced on Windows™

It is difficult, but it can be done. It has been done before. You can run the regular Unix install.sh procedure in a Cygwin environment. First, install Cygwin, then do what is said above for Unix. Just to motivate you a bit, here's a version string from a psyced on Windows:

psyced/0.99 psyclpc/4.0.4 CYGWIN_NT-5.1/1.5 i686

Staying up to date

The tarballs come with a .git repository. Once you have them installed you can use regular git commands to fetch updates. The typical update procedure would be

git fetch origin
git diff master..origin/master | vim -R "+set syntax=diff" -
git merge -s resolve origin
