Installation
============
This part of the documentation covers the installation of Requests. The first step to using any software package is getting it properly installed.
Distribute & Pip
----------------
Installing requests is simple with `pip <http://www.pip-installer.org/>`_::
$ pip install requests
or, with `easy_install <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>`_::
$ easy_install install requests
But, you really `shouldn't do that <http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/index.html#pip-compared-to-easy-install>`_.
Cheeseshop Mirror
-----------------
If the Cheeseshop is down, you can also install Requests from Kenneth Reitz's personal `Cheeseshop mirror <pip.kreitz.co/>`_::
$ pip install -i http://pip.kreitz.co/simple requests
Get the Code
------------
Requsts is actively developed on GitHub, where the code is
`always available <https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests>`_.
You can either clone the public repository::
git clone git://github.com/kennethreitz/requests.git
Download the `tarball <https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/tarball/master>`_::
$ curl -O https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/tarball/master
Or, download the `zipball <https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/zipball/master>`_::
$ curl -O https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/zipball/master
Once you have a copy of the source, you can embed it in your Python package, or install it into your site-packages easily::
$ python setup.py install
