[center]How to install LION!
[/center]
Requirements:
1. You must be running snow leopard with the mac app store
upgrade IE: 10.6.6
2. Have about $30 bucks in an itunes/apple ID accesible account.
To buy the upgrade.
3. BACK UP YOUR FILES!! You never know when something is going
to go wrong.
4. A somewhat fast internet connection.

The Install
First thing to do is go into the mac app store and find lion.
Second, Click Buy/install if you have already bought it if not
it should say something such as buy.
Third, after you sign in and it starts to download walk away for
a while it took me an hour and a half to download it and I have
a very fast connection.
Fourth, when it is done downloading it should open the installer
if not click the docked icon.
Fifth, Go through the installer and follow the steps select the
drive to install it to and let it install, you will then be
prompted to reboot, do so when it boots back up it will finish
the install and have you reboot again. Be sure to not do
anything to the computer at this point other wise you risk
corrupting it and you will then need to use that backup you made
(you did make that right?)
The install will be finished when you see the new login screen.
The computer may be slow for a few hours as spotlight and the
system are doing some first run things, it also depends on your
hardware.
Congrats you just installed, rather upgraded to lion!
Follow up guide will feature how to use the recovery partition
and how to use the usb installer that can be bought from apple.
