The following steps describe the installation of PyXPlot from a .tar.gz archive by a user without superuser (i.e. root) access to his machine. It is assumed that the packages listed above have already been installed; if they are not, you will need to contact your system administrator.
Unpack the distributed .tar.gz:
tar xvfz pyxplot_0.7.1.tar.gz cd pyxplot
Run the installation script:

Finally, start PyXPlot:
