Installing PyAFS
================

To install PyAFS, you will first need to install Cython_. It's always
a good idea to install Cython through your package manager, if
possible. Your system's Cython package may be named ``cython`` or
``cython-py25``. If your package manager doesn't have a package for
Cython, or if you wish to install Cython by hand anyway, you can do so
by running::

  $ easy_install Cython

Once you've done that, to install PyAFS globally, run::

  $ python setup.py install

If you want to build PyAFS without installing it globally, you may
want to run::

  $ python setup.py build_ext --inplace

which will build the C extensions in place next to their source,
allowing you to import the various modules, so long as your current
working directory is the root of the PyAFS source tree.
