Installation

1. Install python: http://www.python.org/

2. Install setuptools library (and (optional) virtualenv)

3. Install datapkg

   Using setuptool’s easy_install:

   $ easy_install datapkg

   Or to install with pip (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip):

   $ pip install datapkg

   If you want it in a nice insulated virtualenv do instead:

   # set up virtualenv
   $ virtualenv your_virtual_env
   
   # EITHER (with easy_install)
   $ . your_virtual_env/bin/activate
   $ easy_install datapkg
   
   # OR (with pip)
   $ pip -E your_virtual_env install datapkg

   NB: f you want to install from source datapkg’s mercurial repository is here: http://knowledgeforge.net/ckan/datapkg

4. Extras (e.g. upload capabilities).

   If you want to use the upload capabilities you will need to install the OFS library:

   $ easy_install ofs
   # or
   $ pip install ofs

   You can also install plugins - see the project’s home page for a current list.

5. Take a look at the manual:

   $ datapkg man
