I am looking at the readme and there isn't any instructions on how to install it locally on my ubuntu machine (curious, is it different on a mac os?)

There is a package on pypi:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/boto
Just install like any other python package using easy_install:
easy_install boto
Or download the package manually and run python setup.py install.

Amazon's documentation should help. Here's the getting started guide for S3 and Python. It's in the cheese shop, so it's as easy as
sudo pip install -U boto
or
sudo easy_install boto
