bzr install instructions ************************ Dependencies ------------ bzr requires Python2.4 and cElementTree: http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm If you wish to access branches over sftp, you will need paramiko and pycrypto: http://www.lag.net/paramiko/ bzr can optionally use compiled versions of some parts of the code for increased speed. When installing bzr you need the ability to build C extensions. Some GNU/Linux distributions package the necessary headers separately from the main Python package. This package is probably named something like python-dev or python-devel. FreeBSD, Windows, source-based GNU/Linux distributions, and possibly other operating systems, have the required files installed by default. If you are installing bzr from a bzr branch rather than a release tarball, then you should also have the Pyrex package installed. This is not necessary for release tarballs as they already contain the C files that Pyrex is needed to create. http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/python/Pyrex/ Installation ------------ When upgrading using setup.py, it is recommended that you first delete the bzrlib directory from the install target. To install bzr as a user, run python setup.py install --home ~ To install system-wide, run (as root) python setup.py install For more information on installation, see or write to bazaar@lists.canonical.com, or ask a question at .
