Installation
================================================================================

To install it, make sure you have **Python 2.5 or greater** and **python-setuptools** module is installed.
Then run this command from the command prompt:

    **python setup.py install**
    
OR you can also install it using **easy_install** command:

    **easy_install shoppingCart**

AS AN ALTERNATIVE, you can just copy the entire "shoppingCart" directory to Python's
site-packages directory, which is located wherever your Python installation
lives. Some places you might check are:

    **/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages (Unix, Python 2.6)**

    **/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages (Unix, Python 2.5)**

    **C:\\PYTHON\site-packages         (Windows)**
