The easiest way is via the git repository since that contains the
latest fry stuff. If you are on Windows I suggest installing cygwin.
Make sure you include gcc and git. You can then get the git repository
with (from a cygwin shell):

$ git clone git://factorcode.org/git/factor.git

Change to the factor directory and build:

$ cd factor
$ make winnt-x86-32
$ wget http://www.factorcode.org/images/latest/boot.x86.32.image
$ ./factor i=boot.x86.32.image
$ ./factor

Replace winnt-x86-32 with the incantation required for your platform.
Once in Factor you can run 'load-everything' to load all third party
and contributed vocabs/libraries. This will take quite some time. Do a
'save' after this to save the image so you don't need to do it again.
Then do: "fry" about, or just browse the documentation.

I think regular binary builds from the git repository are going to happen soon.

Chris.
