To install Copper, use the following steps: 
 
1) Make sure you have sh, tcsh, gcc, perl, and GNU MP (gmp) packages
installed and setup properly. On Windows, these must be the Cygwin
versions, along with a basic Cygwin installation. The gmp package is
available at http://gmplib.org. We recommend that you install gmp via
an rpm (on Linux) or the Cygwin installer (on Win32). Copper needs
version 4.1 or higher of gmp.
 
2) Run the script copper-2.0-installer.sh and follow the
instructions. On Windows, you must run this script from a Cygwin
shell. You will be asked for an installation directory. Avoid using
drive names (e.g., C:), and use backslashes only to escape spaces
etc. For instance, instead of typing the following Win32-style
directory name:

C:\Documents and Settings\foo

use the following Cygwin-ized version of the same directory:

/cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/foo

Also, provide only the unique fully qualified path name of the desired
installation directory. In particular, no dots are allowed.

A directory called "copper" will be created inside the installation
directory you specify. You will also be asked to to accept a
license. Answer precisely with a "yes" if you wish to accept. All
other answers will be treated as "no".
