Hi Ryan,

you can put it on your local machine (laptop or desktop) and run it from
there; or you can put it in your ~/web/ directory on arctic.

Make sure to chmod a+r it in your ~/web/ directory, and make sure that
the ~/web/ directory itself is chmod a+rx.  Lisa already ran into this
;)

I'll talk about permissions a bit more next week.

cheers,
