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

Install the extension with one of the following commands::

    $ easy_install sigal

or preferably if you have pip installed::

    $ pip install sigal

To install the development version, see the :doc:`contribute`.

Also, note that Sigal depends on `Pillow
<https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow>`_, which needs specific libraries when
building from sources. See their `Installation documentation
<https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html>`_ for more details.
