The easiest way to do this is to change into the <code>XSLTools-0.4.2</code> directory and to run the <code>setup.py</code>    17 script provided with the version of Python you are going to be using    18 (possibly as a privileged user like <code>root</code>):</p>    19 <pre>cd XSLTools-0.4.2<br />python setup.py install</pre>    20 <p>If you don't want to install XSLTools in this way, or if you can't    21 do so    22 because you don't have <code>root</code> privileges, you can just make    23 sure    24 that the <code>XSLTools-0.4.2</code> directory sits on your    25 <code>PYTHONPATH</code>.</p>    26 <h2>Viewing the API Documentation</h2>    27 <p>The API documentation for use in conjunction with this    28 guide can be found inside the&nbsp;<a href="../apidocs/index.html"><code>apidocs</code></a>    29 directory within the <code>XSLTools-0.4.2</code> directory. Of course,    30 it is always possible to view the API documentation    31 within Python by importing modules (such as <a href="../apidocs/public/XSLTools.XSLOutput-module.html"><code>XSLTools.XSLOutput</code></a>)    32 and using Python's built-in&nbsp;<code>help</code> function.</p>    33 <h2>About XSLForms Applications</h2>    34 <ul>    35   <li><a href="what.html">What are XSLTools and XSLForms?</a></li>    36   <li><a href="model.html">The XSLForms Conceptual Model</a></li>    37   <li><a href="overview.html">Creating Applications: An Overview</a></li>    38 </ul>    39 </body></html>
