[edit] NOTE

This Guide is incomplete and will be finished when PsyschoStats 3 is released I have time to see what other steps need to be added.

[edit] Introduction

This Guide is for installing PsychoStats onto a Gentoo Linux box specifically. Some commands and files structures will differ from other distros or flavors of linux. This Guide also assumes you have root access onto a Gentoo box. It is possible to do the install without root just you are at the mercy of the administrators of the box to have the proper modules installed.
