1) Download Gnus to a directory near you.

2) Compile Gnus, by typing `./configure' followed by `make' or
   `make EMACS=xemacs' if you use XEmacs.

3) Make sure that Emacs can find the Gnus Lisp directory.  You usually
   do that using something like:

   (setq load-path (cons "/path/to/gnus/gnus-5.8.2/lisp"   ; don't forget /lisp
                         load-path))

3a) If you use XEmacs you'll also want to use the `etc' package with
    the nice icons.  Get it from the Gnus site (it should be a tarball
    named something like `etc-0.27.tar.gz') and unpack it somewhere.
    Then go to the Gnus directory, type `rm -rf etc', then
    `ln -s /path/to/etc-0.27 etc'.

4) Exit Emacs, restart it, and type M-x gnus.  If all is well, `V'
   should print "Gnus v5.8.2".  If you use XEmacs and you've done 3a)
   right, the toolbar icons should work properly.


You can repeat these four steps whenever a new Gnus version comes out.
Good luck!
