Installing the development version

You can install the development version of Findig straight from Github. Just run the following pip command (make sure you have git installed on your system):

Getting extra features

Findig has some extra features that are enabled when certain packages are installed on the system. They are defined as extras that can be specified when installing Findig. To install an extra feature, just include its name inside square brackets immediately after ‘Findig’ in your pip install command. Multiple extra features can be installed by listing them inside square brackets, separated by commas.

$ pip install git+https://github.com/geniphi/findig.git#egg=Findig[redis]

And pip will install Findig along with all the requirements necessary for the extra feature to work.
