The easiest way to install the latest version is by using pip/easy_install to pull it from PyPI:
pip install tweepy
You may also use Git to clone the repository from Github and install it manually:
git clone https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy.git
python setup.py install
Note only Python 2.6 and 2.7 is supported at the moment. The Python 3 family is not yet supported.
