Yes, you have to install it locally. The best method is to get it from the
svn trunk, and run it from the base directory.  You first need to create an
account (python account_manager.py), and you are ready to start it (python
crunchy.py).  Crunchy comes with a rather complete tutorial intended both
for end user AND with some more advanced sections for tutorial writers.
