# Installation and Configuration

## The preferred way (pip)

On any system you can install parso directly from the Python package index using pip:

    sudo pip install parso

## From git

If you want to install the current development version (master branch):

    sudo pip install -e git://github.com/davidhalter/parso.git#egg=parso

## Manual installation from a downloaded package (not recommended)

If you prefer not to use an automated package installer, you can download a current copy of parso and install it manually.

To install it, navigate to the directory containing setup.py on your console and type:

    sudo python setup.py install
