Installation

Requirements

  • Python 2.5 or newer (Python 3.x will be supported soon)
  • setuptools >= 0.6c6
  • nosetests (for the test suite only)

Installing with easy_install

If you don’t already have easy_install available you’ll want to download and run the ez_setup.py script:

$ curl -O http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
$ sudo python ez_setup.py -U setuptools

To install or upgrade to the latest released version of Restkit:

$ sudo easy_install -U restkit

Installing from source

You can install Restkit from source as simply as you would install any other Python package. Restkit uses setuptools which will automatically fetch all dependencies (including setuptools itself).

Get a Copy

You can download a tarball of the latest sources from GitHub Downloads or fetch them with git:

$ git clone git://github.com/benoitc/restkit.git

Installation

$ python setup.py install

If you’ve cloned the git repository, its highly recommended that you use the develop command which will allow you to use Restkit from the source directory. This will allow you to keep up to date with development on GitHub as well as make changes to the source:

$ python setup.py develop
