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/jacobtomlinson/datapoint-python.git@master

and to upgrade it in the future:

pip install git+git://github.com/jacobtomlinson/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/jacobtomlinson/datapoint-python.git datapoint-python

Navigate to that directory

cd datapoint-python

Then run the setup

python setup.py install

Windows
