Jinja

As a Python egg (via easy_install)

You can install the most recent Jinja version using easy_install:

sudo easy_install Jinja

This will install a Jinja egg in your Python installation's site-packages directory.

From the tarball release

1. Download the most recent tarball from the download page
2. Unpack the tarball
3. sudo python setup.py install

Note that the last command will automatically download and install setuptools if you don't already have it installed. This requires a working internet connection.

This will install Jinja into your Python installation's site-packages directory.

If you want to play around with the code

1. Install Subversion
2. svn co http://trac.pocoo.org/repos/jinja/trunk jinja
3. cd jinja
4. ln -s jinja /usr/lib/python2.X/site-packages

As an alternative to steps 4 you can also do python setup.py develop which will install the package via setuptools in development mode.

If you just want the latest features and use them

sudo easy_install Jinja==dev

This will install a Jinja egg containing the latest Subversion trunk code in your Python installation's site-packages directory. Every time the command is run, the sources are updated from Subversion.
