You need to type the command "python install.py" (no dollar sign) at the
command prompt (not inside the python interpreter).
Aside: On unix the command prompt usually has a dollar sign "$". A lot
of documentation uses this to indicate that you'd type that line in at
the command prompt, so you should get used to seeing this. If the
documentation were windows-centric it would look like:
C:\> python install.py
For this command to work, the "python" program needs to be in your path. If
you don't know what I mean "path" you have some reading to do; the
following page may be useful:

You are correct. Change into your webware directory before typing the above
command, so that the webware install.py is the one that is executed.
Hope this helps,
