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 <https://pip.pypa.io>`_, just run
|
||
|
|
this in your terminal::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ pip install requests
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
or, with `easy_install <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>`_::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ easy_install requests
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But, you really `shouldn't do that <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3220404/why-use-pip-over-easy-install>`_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Get the Code
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Requests 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 -OL https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/tarball/master
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or, download the `zipball <https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/zipball/master>`_::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ curl -OL 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
|
