Default Installing a steel beam

I need to install a steel beam that is about 20' long. The beam is a
w10x30 so that make it 600 pounds. The beam will be supporting the
main floor (installed in the basement). How does one lift such a beam
in place? Obviously I cannot use a crane. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Richard
