Installation¶
You need the python package installer “pip”. If you don’t have it you can install it on Debian systems:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
And now you can install the autocrypt package:
pip install --user autocrypt
And then make sure that ~/.local/bin
is contained
in your PATH
variable.
installation for development¶
If you plan to work/modify the sources and have a github checkout we recommend to create and activate a python virtualenv and issue once:
$ cd src
$ virtualenv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -e .
This creates a virtual python environment
in the “src/venv” directory and activates it for your
shell through the source venv/bin/activate
command.
Changes you subsequently make to the sources will be available without further installing the autocrypt package again.
