Installing hypatia
¶
How To Install¶
You will need Python version 2.6 or better to run
hypatia
. Development of hypatia
is done
primarily under Python 2.7, so that version is recommended. It does not
run under Python 3.X.
Warning
To succesfully install hypatia
, you will need an
environment capable of compiling Python C code. See the
documentation about installing, e.g. gcc
and python-devel
for your system. You will also need setuptools installed
within your Python system in order to run the easy_install
command.
It is advisable to install hypatia
into a virtualenv in order
to obtain isolation from any “system” packages you’ve got installed in your
Python version (and likewise, to prevent hypatia
from globally
installing versions of packages that are not compatible with your system
Python).
After you’ve got the requisite dependencies installed, you may install
hypatia
into your Python environment using the following
command:
$ easy_install hypatia
What Gets Installed¶
When you easy_install
hypatia
and ZODB are installed.
