title: Installing PyLucene on a Mac
body: <p>I would like to be able to use pyLucene on my Mac. The instructions have me hopelessly lost because each instruction for setting up or making requires that I do something before it, and it's hard to know where to start and what to do from what window.</p>
  <p>I have downloaded PyLucene.  The first thing I'm wondering is where I put the folder, since that doesn't seem self-evident to me.</p>
  <p>To use it, I am told I need to build JCC, which is included in the pylucene download.</p>
  <p>The instructions:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>At the command line, enter:</p>
  <pre><code>$ python setup.py build
  $ sudo python setup.py install
  </code></pre>
  </blockquote>
  <p>But to do this, I think, I need to be in the right place or put the folder in the right place because otherwise I'm getting <code>&quot;setup.py&quot; not found</code>.</p>
  <p>Any help you can offer on this environment (A shell window? An IDE?). Any help on getting pas this first part: building JCC, followed by setting up pylucene is much appreciated.</p>
