Installation¶
DataPoint for Python can be installed like any other Python module.
It is available on PyPI and the source is available on GitHub.
Pip¶
Pip makes Python package installation simple. For the latest stable version just fire up your terminal and run:
pip install datapoint
or for the very latest code from the repository’s master branch run:
pip install git+git://github.com/ejep/datapoint-python.git@master
and to upgrade it in the future:
pip install git+git://github.com/ejep/datapoint-python.git@master --upgrade
Easy Install¶
Or if you really feel the need then you can use easy_install.
easy_install datapoint
But you probably shouldn’t.
Source¶
You can also install from the source in GitHub.
First checkout the GitHub repository (or you can download the zip and extract it).
git clone https://github.com/ejep/datapoint-python.git datapoint-python
Navigate to that directory
cd datapoint-python
Then run the setup
python setup.py install
