How did you install it?  Via easy_install?  Also, did you get the 
correct version? the 0.9 branch instead of trunk?

If you did install it via easy_install, make sure that you have enabled 
it in your trac.ini

I can't see anything in the code that actually enforces this.  You 
should be fine placing it anyplace that the webserver can read and write to.
