Installing halberd is a very simple task. It suffices to write (perhaps as root):
python setup.py install
Halberd creates the file $HOME/.halberd/halberd.cfg when you execute it
for the first time. This file lets the user configure proxy settings and
specify an SSL certificate.
It is recommended that you read the output of
python setup.py install --help in case you want to fine tune the
installation process.
