| Installation |
| ============ |
| |
| Installation can be done in various ways. The simplest form uses pip |
| or easy_install. Either one will work:: |
| |
| pip install rsa |
| |
| Depending on your system you may need to use ``sudo pip`` if you want to install |
| the library system-wide. |
| |
| Installation from source is also quite easy. Download the source and |
| then type:: |
| |
| python setup.py install |
| |
| |
| The sources are tracked in our `Git repository`_ at |
| GitHub. It also hosts the `issue tracker`_. |

| Dependencies |
| ------------ |
| |
| Python-RSA has very few dependencies. As a matter of fact, to use it |
| you only need Python itself. Loading and saving keys does require an |
| extra module, though: pyasn1. If you used pip or easy_install like |
| described above, you should be ready to go. |
| |
| |
| Development dependencies |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| In order to start developing on Python-RSA you need a bit more. Use |
| pip to install the development requirements in a virtual environment:: |
| |
| virtualenv -p /path/to/your-python-version python-rsa-venv |
| . python-rsa-venv/bin/activate |
| pip install -r python-rsa/requirements.txt |
| |
| |
| Once these are installed, use Git_ to get a copy of the source:: |
| |
| git clone https://github.com/sybrenstuvel/python-rsa.git |
| python setup.py develop |
| |
| .. _Git: https://git-scm.com/ |
