# Installing

## Requirements

You need to have either Python 2.6 or 2.7 installed.

## Installing from PyPi

If you have `pip` installed, you can simply do:

    $ pip install pycassa

This will also install the Thrift python bindings automatically.

## Manual Installation

Make sure that you have Thrift’s python bindings installed:

    $ pip install thrift

You can download a release from github or check out the latest source from github:

    $ git clone git://github.com/pycassa/pycassa.git

You can simply copy the pycassa directory into your project, or you can install pycassa system-wide:

    $ cd pycassa/
    $ sudo python setup.py install
