Pygments
Installation
« Back To IndexPygments requires at least Python 2.3 to work correctly. Just to clarify: there won't ever be support for Python versions below 2.3.
Install the release version
- download the recent tarball from the download page
- unpack the tarball
- sudo python setup.py install
Note that the last command will automatically download and install setuptools if you don't already have it installed. This requires a working internet connection.
This will install Pygments into your Python installation's site-packages directory.
Install via easy_install
You can also install the most recent Pygments version using easy_install:
sudo easy_install Pygments
This will install a Pygments egg in your Python installation's site-packages directory.
Installing the development version
- Install Subversion
- svn co http://trac.pocoo.org/repos/pygments/trunk pygments
- cd pygments
- ln -s pygments /usr/lib/python2.X/site-packages
- ln -s pygmentize /usr/local/bin
As an alternative to steps 4 and 5 you can also do python setup.py develop which will install the package via setuptools in development mode.
