Installation¶
Deployment¶
The easiest way to install arsenal is through pip
. See pip’s
documentation on installation to obtain it.
To install arsenal, run the following command:
$ pip install --pre arsenal-director
Here, we’re instructing pip
to install a package, namely
arsenal-director
. arsenal-director
is the package name for Arsenal in
Python’s Package Index. The --pre
option lets pip
install
pre-release versions of packages.
Currently, Arsenal is in beta. Once beta testing is complete, a full release
will be made and the --pre
option can be dropped from the above example.
Development¶
To obtain Arsenal for development, you should clone it directly from Github:
$ git clone https://github.com/rackerlabs/arsenal.git
For a development installation, navigate to the cloned repository’s root and run:
$ pip install -e .
Should provide Arsenal to the system, while allowing development changes to your local repository to be reflected in the installed package.
Or, if you have virtualenvwrapper installed, and would like to place Arsenal in a virtual Python environment:
$ mkvirtualenv arsenal
$ pip install -e .
Should do the trick.
