-Untar it via @samp{tar xvzf gnus.tar.gz} and do the common
-@samp{./configure; make; make install} circle.
-(under MS-Windows either get the Cygwin environment from
-@uref{https://www.cygwin.com}
-which allows you to do what's described above or unpack the
-tarball with some packer (e.g., Winace)
-and use the batch-file make.bat included in the tarball to install
-Gnus.) If you don't want to (or aren't allowed to) install Gnus
-system-wide, you can install it in your home directory and add the
-following lines to your ~/.emacs:
-
-@example
-(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/gnus/lisp")
-(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "/path/to/gnus/texi/")

-Make sure that you don't have any Gnus related stuff
-before this line, on MS Windows use something like
-"C:/path/to/lisp" (yes, "/").
