Installation
============
.. _install-ppa:
From Ubuntu Package via PPA
---------------------------
1. Install utility
::
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
2. Add the PPA
::
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:libra-core/ppa
3. Update the package indexes
::
sudo apt-get update
4. Install packages

.. _install-pypi:
From PyPI
---------
The :program:`python-libraclient` package is published on `PyPI <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-libraclient/>`_ and so can be installed using the pip tool, which will manage installing all
python dependencies.
.. note:: The pip tool isn't bundled by default with some versions of the different distributions, please install it typically using a package manager for the platform you use.
.. note:: Needs to be done in a Virtual Environment or as root.
.. code-block:: shell-session
pip install python-libraclient
.. warning::
The packages on PyPI may lag behind the git repo in functionality.
.. _install-source:
Setup the client from source
----------------------------
If you want the latest version, straight from github:
.. code-block:: shell-session
git clone git@github.com:stackforge/python-libraclient.git
cd python-libraclient
virtualenv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt -r test-requirements.txt
python setup.py install
.. _install-development:
Setup the client in development mode
------------------------------------
Installing in development mode allows your to make changes to the source code & test directly without having to re-run the "python setup.py install"
step. You can find out more about this in the `Development Mode <http://pythonhosted.org/distribute/setuptools.html#development-mode>`_ online docs.
.. code-block:: shell-session
git clone git@github.com:stackforge/python-libraclient.git
cd python-libraclient
virtualenv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt -r test-requirements.txt
python setup.py develop
