Installation and Configuration
==============================

You can either include *Jedi* as a submodule in your text editor plugin (like
jedi-vim_ does it by default), or you can install it systemwide.


System-wide installation via a package manager
----------------------------------------------

You can install *Jedi* directly from pypi using pip::

    sudo pip install jedi

If you want to install the current development version::

    sudo pip install -e git://github.com/davidhalter/jedi.git#egg=jedi

.. note:: This just installs the Jedi library, not the editor plugins. For
    information about how to make it work with your editor, refer to the
    corresponding documentation.


Manual installation from a downloaded package
---------------------------------------------

If you prefer not to use an automated package installer, you can download a
copy of *Jedi* and install it manually.

To install it, navigate to the directory containing `setup.py` on your console
and type::

    sudo python setup.py install


Inclusion as a submodule
------------------------

If you use an editor plugin like jedi-vim_, you can simply include *Jedi* as a
git submodule of the plugin directory. Vim plugin managers like Vundle_ make it
very easy to keep submodules up to date.
