Standard installation¶
Once all the prerequisites are satisfied, ARS can be installed in any of these simple alternatives. To install ARS we recommend you to use pip.
pip
It “is a tool for installing and managing Python packages, such as those found in the Python Package Index. It’s a replacement for easy_install.” (pip-installer.org)
This program is not part of standard Python installations. However, it is
widely used because it has easy_install
‘s functionality plus uninstall and
upgrade features.
pip install ARS
Easy Install
It “is a Python module (easy_install
) bundled with setuptools
that lets
you automatically download, build, install, and manage Python packages.”
(packages.python.org/distribute)
easy_install ARS
setup.py install
This is the standard way to install a module distribution.
It uses the official and built-in distutils
package.
For this, you need to download ARS,
extract the contents from the archive (e.g. .zip
, .tar.bz2
),
and run (from its root directory):
python setup.py install
