Install DBIx::Class via CPAN should be sufficient.

+=head3 Create the database/tables
First make and change the directory:
mkdir app
cd app
+ mkdir db
+ cd db
This example uses SQLite which is a dependency of DBIx::Class, so you
shouldn't have to install extra software.

CREATE TABLE artist (
artistid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,

-First, create some dirs and change working directory:

+
+ cd ../
+
+Now create some more directories:
mkdir MyDatabase
mkdir MyDatabase/Main
+ mkdir MyDatabase/Main/Result
+ mkdir MyDatabase/Main/ResultSet
Then, create the following DBIx::Class::Schema classes:

-

=head1 Notes
+A reference implementation of the database and scripts in this example
+are available in the main distribution for DBIx::Class under the
+directory F<t/examples/Schema>.
+
With these scripts we're relying on @INC looking in the current
working directory. You may want to add the MyDatabase namespaces to
@INC in a different way when it comes to deployment.
-The testdb.pl script is an excellent start for testing your database
+The F<testdb.pl> script is an excellent start for testing your database
model.
+This example uses L<DBIx::Class::Schema/load_namespaces> to load in the
+appropriate L<Row|DBIx::Class::Row> classes from the MyDatabase::Main::Result namespace,
+and any required resultset classes from the MyDatabase::Main::ResultSet
+namespace (although we created the directory in the directions above we
+did not add, or need to add, any resultset classes).
