bzr install instructions

************************

Dependencies

------------

bzr requires Python2.4 and cElementTree:

If you wish to access branches over sftp, you will need paramiko and

pycrypto:

bzr can optionally use compiled versions of some parts of the code

for increased speed. When installing bzr you need the ability to

build C extensions. Some Linux distributions package the necessary

headers separately from the main Python package. This package is

probably named something like python-dev or python-devel. FreeBSD,

Windows, source-based Linux distributions, and possibly other operating

systems, have the required files installed by default.

If you are installing bzr from a bzr branch rather than a release tarball,

then you should also have the Pyrex package installed. This is not necessary

for release tarballs as they already contain the C files that Pyrex is needed

to create.

Installation

------------

When upgrading using setup.py, it is recommended that you first delete the

bzrlib directory from the install target.

To install bzr as a user, run

  python setup.py install --home ~ 

To install system-wide, run (as root)

  python setup.py install
