# Installation

DataPoint for Python can be installed like any other Python module.

It is available on PyPI and the source is available on GitHub.

## Pip

Pip makes Python package installation simple. For the latest stable version just fire up your terminal and run:

    pip install datapoint

or for the very latest code from the repository’s master branch run:

    pip install git+git://github.com/perseudonymous/datapoint-python.git@master

and to upgrade it in the future:

    pip install git+git://github.com/perseudonymous/datapoint-python.git@master --upgrade

## Source

You can also install from the source in GitHub.

First checkout the GitHub repository (or you can download the zip and extract it).

    git clone https://github.com/perseudonymous/datapoint-python.git datapoint-python

Navigate to that directory

    cd datapoint-python

Then run the setup

    python setup.py install
