  contained inside the virtualenv (which also means you can have multiple

  installations side by side or remove it entirely by just removing the

  virtualenv directory) and does not require root privileges.

- :ref:`installation-without-virtualenv`: The alternative method of installing

  a Kallithea release is using standard pip. The package will be installed in

  the same location as all other Python packages you have ever installed. As a

  result, removing it is not as straightforward as with a virtualenv, as you'd

  have to remove its dependencies manually and make sure that they are not

  needed by other packages.

.. _installation-source:

Installation from repository source

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

To install Kallithea from source in a virtualenv, follow the instructions

below::

        hg clone https://kallithea-scm.org/repos/kallithea

        cd kallithea

        virtualenv ../kallithea-venv

        source ../kallithea-venv/bin/activate

        python setup.py develop

You can now proceed to :ref:`setup`.

To upgrade, simply update the repository with ``hg pull -u`` and restart the

server.

.. _installation-virtualenv:

Installing a released version in a virtualenv

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

It is highly recommended to use a separate virtualenv_ for installing Kallithea.

This way, all libraries required by Kallithea will be installed separately from your

main Python installation and other applications and things will be less

problematic when upgrading the system or Kallithea.

An additional benefit of virtualenv_ is that it doesn't require root privileges.

- Assuming you have installed virtualenv_, create a new virtual environment

  for example, in `/srv/kallithea/venv`, using the virtualenv command::

    virtualenv /srv/kallithea/venv

- Activate the virtualenv_ in your current shell session by running::
