# Installation

This part of the documentation covers the installation of rst. The first step to using any software package is getting it properly installed.

## Distribute & Pip

Installing requests is simple with pip:

    $ pip install rst

or, with easy_install:

    $ easy_install rst

But, you really shouldn’t do that.

## Get the Code

rst is actively developed on GitHub, where the code is always available.

You can either clone the public repository:

    git clone git://github.com/kushaldas/rst.git

Download the tarball:

    $ curl -OL https://github.com/kushaldas/rst/tarball/master

Or, download the zipball:

    $ curl -OL https://github.com/kushaldas/rst/tarball/master

Once you have a copy of the source, you can embed it in your Python package, or install it into your site-packages easily:

    $ python setup.py install
