Installation
============
Pint has no dependencies except Python_ itself. In runs on Python 2.6 and 3.0+.
You can install it (or upgrade to the latest version) using pip_::
$ pip install -U pint
That's all! You can check that Pint is correctly installed by starting up python, and importing pint:
.. testcode::
>>> import pint # doctest: +SKIP
>>> pint.__version__ # doctest: +SKIP
.. note:: If you have an old system installation of Python and you don't want to
mess with it, you can try `Anaconda CE`_. It is a free Python distribution by
Continuum Analytics that includes many scientific packages.
You can check the installation with the following command:
>>> pint.test() # doctest: +SKIP
On Arch Linux, you can alternatively install Pint from the Arch User Repository
(AUR). The latest release is available as `python-pint`_, and packages tracking
the master branch of the GitHub repository are available as `python-pint-git`_
and `python2-pint-git`_.
Getting the code
----------------
You can also get the code from PyPI_ or GitHub_. You can either clone the public repository::
$ git clone git://github.com/hgrecco/pint.git
Download the tarball::
$ curl -OL https://github.com/hgrecco/pint/tarball/master
Or, download the zipball::
