 +  * I presuppose that Python is already installed in your computer. Most distributions of linux include in their standard version Python. If you haven't install python yet, please check [[http://www.python.org/|here]].
   * The installation process is by itself quite simple -you will need just two commands. However a number of libraries are necessary to run Divisi2 and their installation is not quite simple, at least that is what I remember from installing numpy. In my case, I had to install (and maybe build) several libraries, in particular, ATLAS.   * The installation process is by itself quite simple -you will need just two commands.
