pip install rhodecode

If you prefer to install RhodeCode manually simply grab latest release from

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/RhodeCode, decompress the archive and run::

    python setup.py install

For installing RhodeCode i highly recommend using separate virtualenv_. This

way many required by RhodeCode libraries will remain sandboxed from your main

python and making things less problematic when doing system python updates. 

- Assuming you have installed virtualenv_ create a new virtual environment 

  using virtualenv command:: 

.. note:: Using ``--no-site-packages`` when generating your

   virtualenv is **very important**. This flag provides the necessary

   isolation for running the set of packages required by

   RhodeCode.  If you do not specify ``--no-site-packages``,

   it's possible that RhodeCode will not install properly into

   the virtualenv, or, even if it does, may not run properly,

   depending on the packages you've already got installed into your

   Python's "main" site-packages dir.

- Activate the virtualenv_ by running::

.. note:: If you're using UNIX, *do not* use ``sudo`` to run the

   ``virtualenv`` script.  It's perfectly acceptable (and desirable)

   to create a virtualenv as a normal user.

- Make a folder for rhodecode data files, and configuration somewhere on the 

  filesystem. For example::

- Go into the created directory run this command to install rhodecode::

    easy_install rhodecode

  or::

    pip install rhodecode 

- This will install rhodecode together with pylons and all other required 

  python libraries into activated virtualenv

Requirements for Celery (optional)

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

In order to gain maximum performance

there are some third-party you must install. When RhodeCode is used 

together with celery you have to install some kind of message broker,

recommended one is rabbitmq_ to make the async tasks work.

Of course RhodeCode works in sync mode also and then you do not have to install

any third party applications. However, using Celery_ will give you a large 

speed improvement when using many big repositories. If you plan to use
