1. cd to the directory where you want the spider to be installed, typically /usr/ or /usr/www/. The server will run from anywhere in the filesystem, though.

  2. Issue the command to unpack the archive:

      .tar.gz:
      If you have GNU tar; 'tar xzf spinner-archive-name'
      If you don't have GNU tar: 'gunzip < spinner-archive-name| tar xf -'
      .tar.Z
      'uncompress < spinner-archive-name| tar xf -'
      .tar
      'tar xf spinner-archive-name'

    (where spinner-archive-file-name is the name of the spinner archive file.). If no errors occured, there should now be a 'spinner' directory.
