* `GitDB`_ - a pure python git database implementation

* `async`_ - asynchronous task scheduling

* `Python Nose`_ - used for running the tests

* `Mock by Michael Foord`_ used for tests. Requires version 0.5

`setuptools`_. Assuming it is

installed, just run the following from the command-line:

..sourcecode::none

..sourcecode::console

# easy_install GitPython

$ easy_install GitPython

This command will download the latest version of GitPython from the

`Python Package Index<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/GitPython>`_ and install it

Alternatively, you can install from the distribution using the ``setup.py``

script:

..sourcecode::none

..sourcecode::console

$ python setup.py install

# python setup.py install

..note::In this case, you have to manually install `GitDB`_ and `async`_ as well. It would be recommended to use the :ref:`git source repository <source-code-label>` in that case.
