================== Installation guide ================== .. highlight:: sh Install Python ============== OpenTAXII works with both latest Python version (3.4) and version 2.7. You can install Python with your operating system’s package manager or download it directly `here `_. You can verify that Python is installed by typing ``python`` from your shell; you should see something like:: $ python Python 2.7.8 (default, Oct 19 2014, 16:02:00) [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 6.0 (clang-600.0.54)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> Install Cabby ============= To sandbox the project and protect system-wide python it is recommended to install Cabby into a `virtual environment `_ (*virtualenv*): Create a virtual environment named venv:: $ virtualenv venv Where ``venv`` is a directory to place the new environment. Activate this environment:: $ . venv/bin/activate (venv) $ You can now install the latest Cabby release from the `Python Package Index `_ (PyPI) using ``pip``:: (venv) $ pip install cabby .. note:: Since Cabby has `libtaxii `_ as a dependency, the system libraries `libtaxii` requires need to be installed. Check `libtaxii documentation `_ for the details. To install Cabby from source files: download a tarball, unpack it and install it manually with ``python setup.py install``. Versioning ========== Releases of Cabby are given major.minor.revision version numbers, where major and minor correspond to the roadmap EclecticIQ has. The revision number is used to indicate a bug fix only release. .. rubric:: Next steps Continue with the :doc:`User guide ` to see how to use Cabby. .. vim: set spell spelllang=en:
