1. <install>
2. Edit and change the home page (which links to all other pages)
by changing the ~/.plucker/home.html file. You can of course edit
the other files too. You can also edit .pluckerrc, to set up the
default behavior of the python parser.
3. Run 'plucker-build' to download the web pages.

What README file tells you to look at the FAQ? AFAIK, only the
INSTALL file tells you about the FAQ.

Well, if you can't figure that out by reading the source code
then you probably don't need that tool ;-)
It's a developer's tool and as it says in the header of the
file,
This module decodes a PDB back into the 'cache' directory
i.e. it takes a Plucker database and splits it into individual
records. These records can then be examined by using plucker-decode.

Nope.
