To install Magellan follow the steps mentioned below.

1. You will first need to download Python v. 2.5 (do not install Python 2.6 because numpy doesn't work with it).
2. Magellan uses the matplotlib library and matplotlib uses the numpy package. After installing python download these two packages (they can both be found at http://sourceforge.net).
3. Download the Magellan zip and unzip it to the location you want it.
4. CD into the location of the unzipped Magellan folder. Type 'python setup.py install'
5. Magellan should now be installed. Try just typing 'magellan'. You should get the message 'No track data file given'.
6. Try running magellan with the data files that come with Magellan.
