Werkzeug
Installation

Contents
Werkzeug requires at least Python 2.3 to work correctly.
Installing a released version
As a Python egg (via easy_install)
You can install the most recent Werkzeug version using easy_install:
sudo easy_install Werkzeug
This will install a Werkzeug egg in your Python installation's site-packages directory.
From the tarball release
- Download the most recent tarball from the download page
- Unpack the tarball
- sudo python setup.py install
Note that the last command will automatically download and install setuptools if you don't already have it installed. This requires a working internet connection.
This will install Werkzeug into your Python installation's site-packages directory.
Installing the development version
If you want to play around with the code
- Install Mercurial
- hg clone http://dev.pocoo.org/hg/werkzeug-main werkzeug
- cd werkzeug
- ln -s werkzeug /usr/lib/python2.X/site-packages
As an alternative to steps 4 you can also do python setup.py develop which will install the package via setuptools in development mode.
If you just want the latest features and use them
sudo easy_install Werkzeug==dev
This will install a Werkzeug egg containing the latest Subversion trunk code in your Python installation's site-packages directory. Every time the command is run, the sources are updated from Subversion.
Documentation
The egg builds include a documentation which is available in the docs folder of the egg. If you're running linux you will find the documentation here:
file:///usr/lib/python2.X/site-packages/Werkzeug-Y.Z-py2.X.egg/docs/index.html
where X, Y and Z must be replaced by the python / werkzeug version number.
