Installation
============

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

Pip install dasha
-----------------
To install dasha, simply run this simple command in your terminal of choice:

``$ pip install dasha``

If you don't have pip installed, `this Python installation guide <http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/installation/>`_ can guide you through the process.

Get the Source Code
-------------------

Dasha is actively developed on GitHub, where the code is `always available <https://github.com/serbernar/dasha>`_.

You can either clone the public repository:

``$ git clone https://github.com/serbernar/dasha.git``

Or, download the `tarball <https://github.com/serbernar/dasha/tarball/master>`_:

``$ curl -OL https://github.com/serbernar/dasha/tarball/master``

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

``$ python setup.py install``
