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
|
|
