Standard procedure for installing from source distribution any
well-packaged package (including extensions) on any platform:
1. make a directory for the purpose
2. unpack the downloaded archive into the directory
3. cd to the directory
4. which should contain a file "setup.py"
5. at the shell/command/whatever prompt, do
setup.py install
or whatever it takes to run the "setup.py" script with one argument,
"install"
6. stand well back :-)
