$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install python-twisted
Ubuntu Maverick (10.10): the version included is what Pyfire requires, so Twisted can be easily installed with:

$ pacman -S twisted
Other OS should refer to the [Twisted download page] twisted-download which shows how to install Twisted on several platforms.
