Great.

Good question. Various docs seem to suggest that it should be there.

Try `pip install PasteScript` in your virtualenv environment.

You will have to enable the 'datastore' and 'archiver' extensions, install
the ElasticSearch debian package (available for download from
elasticsearch.org), install nginx, reconfigure nginx and apache slightly
so that nginx is on port 80 and proxies to apache on an arbitary port like
8088.

Earlier this month, somebody posted a link to a sample nginx configuration
file on the mailing list. It pretty much worked without any modifications
for me I think.
The apache config files will need to be edited to change '80' to '8088'
(or whatever you port you prefer).

Hope this helps.
