Installing coverage.py is done in the usual ways. You must have `setuptools`_
or `Distribute`_ installed already, and then you:
#. Download the appropriate kit from the
`coverage page on the Python Package Index`__.
#. Run ``python setup.py install``.
or, use::
$ pip install coverage
or even::
$ easy_install coverage
.. __: coverage_pypi_
Installing from source
----------------------
Coverage.py includes a C extension for speed. If you are installing from source,
you may need to install the python-dev support files, for example with::
$ sudo apt-get install python-dev
Installing on Windows
---------------------
For Windows, kits are provided on the `PyPI page`__ for different versions of
Python and different CPU architectures. These kits require that `setuptools`_ be
installed as a pre-requisite, but otherwise are self-contained. They have the
C extension pre-compiled so there's no need to worry about compilers.

Checking the installation
-------------------------
If all went well, you should be able to open a command prompt, and see
coverage installed properly::
$ coverage --version
Coverage.py, version 3.6b1. http://nedbatchelder.com/code/coverage/3.6b1
You can also invoke coverage as a module::
$ python -m coverage --version
Coverage.py, version 3.6b1. http://nedbatchelder.com/code/coverage/3.6b1
