## Installation

Once you’ve downloaded and unpacked a tryton source release, enter the directory where the archive was unpacked, and run:

> `python setup.py install`

Note that you may need administrator/root privileges for this step, as this command will by default attempt to install tryton to the Python site-packages directory on your system.

For advanced options, please refer to the easy_install and/or the distutils documentation:

To use without installation, run `bin/tryton` from where the archive was unpacked.
