To create a disribution on linux (or mac?)

make dist

Installation

For linux, run make to generate the package (.sty file) and documentation. If you are using texlive (most modern linux distributions use texlive), you may then run sudo make localinstall to install the package to your latex distribution. If you are not using texlive, you will need to manually copy the .sty file into either the folder where your .tex files reside that require the package, or manually install the package in your latex distribution.

For mac, the instructions above for linux might work. Otherwise you're sort of on your own. Most likely your latex disrubution is somewhere in /usr/share. You will need to figure out the name and where the package files are stored, then run texhash so that latex knows that they are there.

For windows, you're kind of on your own. Instructions that might help can be found at this post on StackExchange.
