.. _installation:

``Kallithea`` is written entirely in Python. Before posting any issues make

sure, your not missing any system libraries and using right version of

libraries required by Kallithea. There's also restriction in terms of mercurial

clients. Minimal version of hg client known working fine with Kallithea is

**1.6**. If you're using older client, please upgrade.

Installing Kallithea from PyPI (aka "Cheeseshop")

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

Kallithea requires python version 2.6 or higher.

The easiest way to install ``kallithea`` is to run::

    easy_install kallithea

Or::

    pip install kallithea

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

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

    python setup.py install

Step by step installation example for Windows

Step by step installation example for Linux

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

For installing Kallithea i highly recommend using separate virtualenv_. This

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

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

Alternative very detailed installation instructions for Ubuntu Server with

celery, indexer and daemon scripts: https://gist.github.com/4546398

- Assuming you have installed virtualenv_ create a new virtual environment

  using virtualenv command::

    virtualenv --no-site-packages /opt/kallithea-venv
