Stable Version

The easiest way to install web.py is using easy_install.
Note that you will install the version specified in the Python Package Index.

easy_install web.py

From Source

wget http://webpy.org/static/web.py-0.33.tar.gz
tar xvzf web.py-0.33.tar.gz

System-wide

cd web.py-0.33
sudo python setup.py install

Local

If you need to bundle web.py with your application extract the source to a vendor folder and create a symlink, normally within your package's root.

ln -s vendor/web.py-0.33/web web

Via GNU/Linux Distribution

Debian or Ubuntu

If you are on a Debian-based system you can install web.py using apt-get.
Note that you may not get the latest version as the Ubuntu/Debian release cycles are different from web.py. See <a href=http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=names&keywords=python-webpy>Debian and Ubuntu package profiles for more information.

sudo apt-get install python-webpy

Red Hat or Fedora, RHEL, CentOS

If you are on a Red Hat-based system you can install web.py using yum or up2date.
Note that CentOS requires the EPEL repository.

yum install python-webpy

up2date -i python-webpy

Development Branch

To follow the bleeding edge clone the master branch.

git clone git://github.com/webpy/webpy.git

Verify Install

python -c "import web; web.application(('/', lambda: 'success')).run()"
http://0.0.0.0:8080/

Point a browser to your host at port 8080 and expect a response of success.
