Installation

This part of the documentation covers the installation of Pycolo. The first step to using any software package is getting it properly installed.

Distribute & Pip

Installing pycolo is simple with pip:

$ pip install pycolo

or, with easy_install:

$ easy_install pycolo

But, you really shouldn't do that.

Get the Code

Pycolo is actively developed on GitHub, where the code is always available.

You can either clone the public repository:

git clone git://github.com/sieben/pycolo.git

Download the tarball:

$ curl -OL https://github.com/sieben/pycolo/tarball/master

Or, download the zipball:

$ curl -OL https://github.com/sieben/pycolo/zipball/master

Once you have a copy of the source, you can embed it in your Python package, or install it into your site-packages easily:

$ python setup.py install
