How to Install Stalker

This document will let you install and run Stalker.

Install Python

Stalker is completely written with Python, so it requires Python. It currently works with Python version 2.5 to 2.7.

Because Stalker is based on some other Python packages first you need to install them. Follow the links below to read their documentation about install:

  1. Sqlalchemy
  2. Jinja2
  3. Beaker

or for the impatient one just run these commands in the shell, these will install the latest versions of the packages:

python easy_install -U sqlalchemy jinja2 beaker

To install Stalker there are couple of routes those you can choose to follow:

  • install it from PyPI/Cheese Shop:

    Just run the following command in your system shell:

    python easy_install -U stalker
  • install it from the tarball release file:

    1. Download the most recent tarball file from download page
  • installing the development version

    1. install Mercurial
    2. hg clone https://stalker.googlecode.com/hg/ stalker
    3. cd stalker
    4. ln -s stalker /usr/lib/python2.X/site-packages

    the forth step is for linux/unix variants. As an alternative to it you can add the stalker folder to PYTHONPATH environment variable both in linux and Windows.

For developers

Developers also need to install these packages:

  1. Nose
