Installation
============
System-Wide Installation
------------------------
Installing the ``internetarchive`` library globally on your system can be done with `pip <http://www.pip-installer.org/>`_.
This is the recommended method for installing ``internetarchive`` (`see below <installation.html#installing-pip>`_ for details on installing pip)::
$ sudo pip install internetarchive
or, with `easy_install <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>`_::
$ sudo easy_install internetarchive
Either of these commands will install the ``internetarchive`` Python library and ``ia`` command-line tool on your system.
**Note**: Some versions of Mac OS X come with Python libraries that are required by ``internetarchive`` (e.g. the Python package ``six``).
This can cause installation issues. If your installation is failing with a message that looks something like::
OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/var/folders/bk/3wx7qs8d0x79tqbmcdmsk1040000gp/T/pip-TGyjVo-uninstall/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/six-1.4.1-py2.7.egg-info'
You can use the ``--ignore-installed`` parameter in ``pip`` to ignore the libraries that are already installed, and continue with the rest of the installation::
$ sudo pip install --ignore-installed internetarchive
More details on this issue can be found here: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/3165
Installing Pip
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The easiest way to install ``pip`` is probably using your operating systems package manager.
Mac OS, with `homebrew <https://brew.sh/>`_::
$ brew install pip
Ubuntu, with `apt-get <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto>`_::
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
If your OS doesn't have a package manager, you can also `install pip with get-pip.py <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/>`_::
$ curl -LOs https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
$ python get-pip.py
virtualenv
----------
If you don't want to, or can't, install the package system-wide you can use ``virtualenv`` to create an isolated Python environment.
First, make sure ``virtualenv`` is installed on your system. If it's not, you can do so with pip::
$ sudo pip install virtualenv
With ``easy_install``::
$ sudo easy_install virtualenv
Or your systems package manager, ``apt-get`` for example::
$ sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
Once you have ``virtualenv`` installed on your system, create a virtualenv::
$ mkdir myproject
$ cd myproject
$ virtualenv venv
New python executable in venv/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip............done.
Activate your virtualenv::
$ . venv/bin/activate
Install ``internetarchive`` into your virtualenv::
$ pip install internetarchive
Snap
----
You can install the latest ``ia`` `snap <https://snapcraft.io>`_, and help testing the most recent changes of the master branch in `all the supported Linux distros <https://snapcraft.io/docs/core/install>`_ with::
$ sudo snap install ia --edge
Every time a new version of ``ia`` is pushed to the store, you will get it updated automatically.
Binaries
--------
Binaries are also available for the ``ia`` command-line tool::
$ curl -LOs https://archive.org/download/ia-pex/ia
$ chmod +x ia
Binaries are generated with `PEX <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex>`_. The only requirement for using the binaries is that you have Python installed on a Unix-like operating system.
For more details on the command-line interface please refer to the `README <https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive/blob/master/README.rst>`_, or ``ia help``.
Get the Code
------------
Internetarchive is `actively developed on GitHub <https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive>`_.
You can either clone the public repository::
$ git clone git://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive.git
Download the `tarball <https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive/tarball/master>`_::
$ curl -OL https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive/tarball/master
Or, download the `zipball <https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive/zipball/master>`_::
$ curl -OL https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive/zipball/master
Once you have a copy of the source, you can install it into your site-packages easily::
$ python setup.py install
