Installing Python Module Six

I am running Python 2.7.9 on a Windows 8 machine. I've programmed for a long time (since the 60s), but I'm having trouble figuring out how to install the Six Module. I need a step-by-step set of instructions. Either help here or a suggested website would be helpful to this old man. Thanks!

On some computers where I don't have pip installed I usually do:

  1. Extract the downloaded file
  2. In the command line, where you extracted do python setup.py install
  3. Module should now be installed
  4. You can run python now
  5. In the interactive interpreter do import module_name
  6. If you get no errors, installation was a success
