Hi,

I think that you are misinterpreting the instructions on the website. 

They don't imply that you already have *PyPy* installed, but they do
imply that you have *some* implementation of Python installed, such as
CPython, which is probably already the case for you.

So if you want to re-build PyPy completely, you need to translate it
using some pre-existing Python interpreter, such as CPython, or PyPy
itself, and then build it, for which you need a C compiler.

Once you've got the PyPy package, you can use virtualenv, so that you
can easily switch between different versions and install additional
packages using pip.

HTH!
