Installing From Subversion

1. Make sure python.exe and Scripts/ directory from the Python installation are on your system PATH.
2. Install latest setuptools:

• Download and run http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py

3. Checkout TurboGears source:

• svn co svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/turbogears1/code/branches/1.0/ turbogears

4. Go to turbogears/thirdparty folder and install components found there:

• easy_install cherrypy
• easy_install kid
• easy_install paste
• easy_install sqlobject

5. Return to turbogears folder and run setup.py develop. This should install TurboGears itself along with fetch and install all extra dependencies for Turbogears, like RuleDispatch.

Note for Windows:

If you do not have a C compiler you won’t be able to install cElementTree from source. Instead do

easy_install -f http://www.turbogears.org/1.0/downloads/current/index cElementTree

to download and install pre-packaged version from Turbogears’ site.
