The previous installation instructions recommended installing the library to the Arduino IDE installation folder. This is a terrible idea because all libraries installed there are lost whenever you update to a new version of the Arduino IDE. The correct place to install libraries is to the libraries subfolder of the sketchbook folder.

Note that an even better installation process is possible if #188 is merged and that PR contains its own installation instructions. So this pull request is intended as a temporary measure to help people do a correct installation with the current less than ideal folder structure.
