Installation¶

Install the client from PyPI¶

The python-designateclient package is published on PyPI and so can be installed using the pip tool, which will manage installing all python dependencies:

pip install python-designateclient

Warning: the packages on PyPI may lag behind the git repo in functionality.

Setup the client from source¶

If you want the latest version, straight from github:

git clone git@github.com:openstack/python-designateclient.git
cd python-designateclient
virtualenv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt -r test-requirements.txt
python setup.py install

Setup the client in development mode¶

Installing in development mode allows your to make changes to the source code & test directly without having to re-run the “python setup.py install” step. You can find out more about Development Mode

git clone git@github.com:openstack/python-designateclient.git
cd python-designateclient
virtualenv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt -r test-requirements.txt
python setup.py develop
