1Installation 2============ 3 4Installation can be done in various ways. The simplest form uses pip 5or easy_install. Either one will work:: 6 7 pip install rsa 8 9Depending on your system you may need to use ``sudo pip`` if you want to install 10the library system-wide. 11 12Installation from source is also quite easy. Download the source and 13then type:: 14 15 python setup.py install 16 17 18The sources are tracked in our `Git repository`_ at 19GitHub. It also hosts the `issue tracker`_. 20 21.. _`Git repository`: https://github.com/sybrenstuvel/python-rsa.git 22.. _`issue tracker`: https://github.com/sybrenstuvel/python-rsa/issues 23 24 25Dependencies 26------------ 27 28Python-RSA has very few dependencies. As a matter of fact, to use it 29you only need Python itself. Loading and saving keys does require an 30extra module, though: pyasn1. If you used pip or easy_install like 31described above, you should be ready to go. 32 33 34Development dependencies 35------------------------ 36 37In order to start developing on Python-RSA you need a bit more. Use 38pip to install the development requirements in a virtual environment:: 39 40 virtualenv -p /path/to/your-python-version python-rsa-venv 41 . python-rsa-venv/bin/activate 42 pip install -r python-rsa/requirements.txt 43 44 45Once these are installed, use Git_ to get a copy of the source:: 46 47 git clone https://github.com/sybrenstuvel/python-rsa.git 48 python setup.py develop 49 50.. _Git: https://git-scm.com/ 51
