Does it really require explanation?

2) Run it as a shell script (e.g. ``sh
./setuptools-0.6c4-py2.4.egg``).  Setuptools will
   install itself using the matching version of Python (e.g.
   ``python2.4``), and will place the ``easy_install`` executable
   in the default location for installing Python scripts.
