# Installation

## Users

To use agate install it with pip:

    pip install agate

For non-English locale support, install PyICU.

## Developers

If you are a developer that also wants to hack on agate, install it from git:

    git clone git://github.com/wireservice/agate.git
    cd agate
    mkvirtualenv agate

    pip install -e .[test]

    python setup.py develop

Note

To run the agate tests with coverage:

    pytest --cov agate

## Supported platforms

agate supports the following versions of Python:

- Python 2.7

- Python 3.5+

- PyPy versions >= 4.0.0

It is tested primarily on OSX, but due to its minimal dependencies it should work perfectly on both Linux and Windows.

Note

iPython or Jupyter user? Agate works great there too.
