Installation
============
This part of the documentation covers the installation of Requests.
The first step to using any software package is getting it properly installed.
Distribute & Pip
----------------
Installing Requests is simple with `pip <https://pip.pypa.io>`_, just run
this in your terminal::
$ pip install requests
or, with `easy_install <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>`_::
$ easy_install requests
But, you really `shouldn't do that <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3220404/why-use-pip-over-easy-install>`_.
Get the Code
------------
Requests is actively developed on GitHub, where the code is
`always available <https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests>`_.
You can either clone the public repository::
$ git clone git://github.com/kennethreitz/requests.git
Download the `tarball <https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/tarball/master>`_::
$ curl -OL https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/tarball/master
Or, download the `zipball <https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/zipball/master>`_::
$ curl -OL https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/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
