==========
Installing
==========
Basic installation
==================
The recommended way to get Invoke is to **install the latest stable release**
via `pip <http://pip-installer.org>`_::
$ pip install invoke
We currently support **Python 2.6/2.7** and **Python 3.2+**. Users still on
Python 2.5 or older are urged to upgrade.
As long as you have a supported Python interpreter, **there are no other
dependencies**. Invoke is pure-Python, and contains copies of its few
dependencies within its source tree.
.. note::
See `this blog post
<http://bitprophet.org/blog/2012/06/07/on-vendorizing/>`_ for background on
our decision to vendorize dependencies.
Getting the development version (without source control)
========================================================
Users who don't intend to actively develop, but who still want to obtain the
in-development version (to help test new features or to cope with any
unfortunate lapses in release schedule) can still use ``pip``, but should give
the ``==dev`` "version" explicitly::
$ pip install invoke==dev
.. seealso::
:doc:`development` for details on full source control checkouts.
