# Installing / Upgrading

HPLeftHandClient is in the Python Package Index.

## Installing with pip

We prefer pip to install hplefthandclient on platforms other than Windows:

    $ pip install hplefthandclient

To upgrade using pip:

    $ pip install --upgrade hplefthandclient

## Installing with easy_install

If you must install hplefthandclient using setuptools do:

    $ easy_install hplefthandclient

To upgrade do:

    $ easy_install -U hplefthandclient

## Installing from source

If you’d rather install directly from the source (i.e. to stay on the bleeding edge), install the C extension dependencies then check out the latest source from github and install the driver from the resulting tree:

    $ git clone git://github.com/WaltHP/python-lefthandlient.git
    $ cd python-lefthandclient/
    $ python setup.py install
