Ok, first install the dependancies it lists there, some of which you should
already have install because of Ubuntu. If you want a system-wide install
you need to copy the contents of the tar.bz2 file into the /usr/local/bin
directory, if you dont want a system-wide install, just put the contents of
that file into your home directory.
For step 2: all you need to do is run this in a terminal for a system-wide
install:
export PANDO_HOME=/usr/bin/local/pandodl
OR wherever you put the 'pandodl' directory.
As for the values in the config file:
Unless you are using a proxy ignore the proxy values, and for the other two
values i would have a look at Pando's docs for those.
