25
Windows, or OS X with relatively little trouble.
27
The only dependency is Python, at least 2.3 and preferably 2.4. On
28
Windows, Python2.4 is required.

You may optionally install cElementTree to speed up some operations.
36
The best way to install bzr is to symlink the ``bzr`` command onto a
37
directory on your path. For example::

ln -s ~/work/bzr/bzr ~/bin/bzr

find the bzr libraries. Otherwise you must ensure they are listed on
45
If you use the setup.py script then bzr will be installed into the
46
specified path. In this case you must install ElementTree or
