metapaw-dip uses Python's distutils for installation, but here's the quick-and-dirty version:
DOWNLOAD_DIR=http://www.metapaw.co.uk/projects/metapaw-dip/download/ for FILE in metapaw-dip-0.4 metapaw-dipdraw-0.4.2; do wget $DOWNLOAD_DIR/$FILE.tar.gz tar -xzf $FILE.tar.gz done export PYTHONPATH=metapaw-dip-0.4/src:metapaw-dipdraw-0.4.2/src python metapaw-dipdraw-0.4.2/src/metapaw/dipdraw/webserver.py
Now run Firefox and go to http://localhost:12381/ or http://your-server-name:12381/. The username for each power is its (capitalised) name and the password is its (capitalised) initial, for example England's username is "England" and the password is "E". You can change these defaults in metapaw.dipdraw.webserver.
