There are no detailed steps except using install script that guides you.
The install usually depends on distribution you use so there is none
stright forward answer.
What works for me:
cd /where_you_untarred_campsite/campsite
./install

and follow the instructions.

Depending on the system you use and packages you have installed, you
might need to add some to satisfy the campsite dependencies, however it
is dificult to give you a list, because packages are named diferently in
various distributions.

The install is shell script that runs instalation, not the readme file.
so instaed viewing the file, login as root, cd to proper folder and run
the command ./install or in case you have wrong permitions on file type
sh ./install

C'mon, it cannot be as bad as it looks like...

OK. INSTALL is not the script. install is script.
So the command is not sh ./INSTALL, but sh ./install.
