git clone git://github.com/lostcoder/pan2.git

This will create a pan source directory named pan2 wherever you are at the time
you run the command.

I recommend ~/src as a standard place to keep your personal projects (like pan).

I use "configure --prefix=/home/walter" on all such projects so they won't clash
with standard packages installed by your linux distribution.  That configure 
flag
tells pan to install in /home/walter/bin, /home/walter/lib, etc.  And I added
these two lines to my .bash_profile:

export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
export MANPATH=~/share/man:$MANPATH

This means that files in /home/walter/bin will be run instead of any other 
binary
with the same name in /usr/bin etc.
