Installation
============
Installation can be done in various ways. The simplest form uses pip
or easy_install. Either one will work::
pip install rsa
Depending on your system you may need to use ``sudo pip`` if you want to install
the library system-wide.
Installation from source is also quite easy. Download the source and
then type::
python setup.py install
The sources are tracked in our `Git repository`_ at
GitHub. It also hosts the `issue tracker`_.

Dependencies
------------
Python-RSA has very few dependencies. As a matter of fact, to use it
you only need Python itself. Loading and saving keys does require an
extra module, though: pyasn1. If you used pip or easy_install like
described above, you should be ready to go.
Development dependencies
------------------------
In order to start developing on Python-RSA you need a bit more. Use
pip to install the development requirements in a virtual environment::
virtualenv -p /path/to/your-python-version python-rsa-venv
. python-rsa-venv/bin/activate
pip install -r python-rsa/requirements.txt
Once these are installed, use Git_ to get a copy of the source::
git clone https://github.com/sybrenstuvel/python-rsa.git
python setup.py develop
