Strange. If you follow documentation on http://photobatch.stani.be you get on
the documentation website, where there are clearly links to install.

For the next release I added a remark in README. I hope that helps.

I strongly advise you to read the tutorials:
http://photobatch.wikidot.com/tutorials (for your convenience one of them is
even translated in german, feel free to translate the other one)

Thans to Frédéric, there is now a tutorial for writing your own actions with PIL
(no knowledge of wxpython needed):
http://photobatch.wikidot.com/writing-actions

Also to understand fully how variables work in Phatch for filenames and folders:
http://photobatch.wikidot.com/variables

As a general note, the documentation website is an open wiki, so feel free to
improve or contribute (eg how to install Phatch on Windows ;-) ).
