Installation ============ Installation can be done in various ways. The simplest form uses pip or easy_install. Either one will work:: pip install rsa Depending on your system you may need to use ``sudo pip`` if you want to install the library system-wide. Installation from source is also quite easy. Download the source and then type:: python setup.py install The sources are tracked in our `Git repository`_ at GitHub. It also hosts the `issue tracker`_. .. _`Git repository`: https://github.com/sybrenstuvel/python-rsa.git .. _`issue tracker`: https://github.com/sybrenstuvel/python-rsa/issues Dependencies ------------ Python-RSA has very few dependencies. As a matter of fact, to use it you only need Python itself. Loading and saving keys does require an extra module, though: pyasn1. If you used pip or easy_install like described above, you should be ready to go. Development dependencies ------------------------ In order to start developing on Python-RSA you need a bit more. Use pip to install the development requirements in a virtual environment:: virtualenv -p /path/to/your-python-version python-rsa-venv . python-rsa-venv/bin/activate pip install -r python-rsa/requirements.txt Once these are installed, use Git_ to get a copy of the source:: git clone https://github.com/sybrenstuvel/python-rsa.git python setup.py develop .. _Git: https://git-scm.com/
