Don't bother. Nobody is maintaining or supporting this. There was some 
enthusiasm at the very beginning by the developer, but that's long gone. You'll 
eventually figure out how to run this - anybody helping you will first need to 
know which platform you want to run this on (linux, windows), then you need to 
download the source, compile it, install it, run it. It's a command-line driven 
tool doing not so great work, with very limited features, and you might get 
disappointed. I was. And I was really patient with it. I managed to compile, 
setup and run it on Windows, but, the feature-set is poor, and the developer 
ignores requests (closes them instead of collaborating first), and he deletes 
comments that are attacking his attitude (this one will be deleted quickly, I 
bet; I hope you at least get notified via email or something). So, while I 
don't want to discourage you to try, don't get your hopes up. Take a look at 
the history or releases (last one on 12/4/2012), and take a look at the 
issue-list (and that's just issues that the developer actually likes; those 
that he dislikes, he closes, like I said; play with the filter on the 
issue-list page) - and try not to make a conclusion that the developer simply 
stopped caring about making progress on this. I think he collected his bonus or 
recognition from the generous Google (cause that's where he works, and this is 
his 20% do-what-you-want shit) at the beginning of the project, then Google 
stopped rewarding or didn't like his project to pick it up and make it a public 
priority, then he stopped investing time in it. He's one of those open-source 
devs that are interest-driven, and not passion-driven.

Hi Sharad,
