Installation Guidelines: Windows - Developer (Manual)

If you are a Developer running Windows and wishing to install Python & all dependent libraries manually then this is the right page for you.

Install Python

2.7 is currently recommended. (2.6 works for all core functionality, but doesn't allow you to use the S3Report pivot table functions)

NB 32-bit Python should be used even on 64-bit Windows:

• ​http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.5/python-2.7.5.msi

Install git

We use the ​git Distributed Version Control System.

Several downloads are ​available here, pick the latest one available and install it.

If you want to develop using the "forks"-feature of GitHub (which are basically branches - but in your own repository) or by commiting code directly to the eden repository, you have to ​create a GitHub account.

After that you can setup your git by configuring your Github account infor and (optionally) setting up your SSH keys (you can use a password instead of keys). A pretty good tutorial is available at the ​GitHub-Manual.
