Installation
------------

Using ``pip``
'''''''''''''

The recommended installation method is using pip_:

.. code:: console

pip install robotframework-imaplibrary

The main benefit of using ``pip`` is that it automatically installs all
dependencies needed by the library. Other nice features are easy upgrading
and support for un-installation:

.. code:: console

pip install --upgrade robotframework-imaplibrary
pip uninstall robotframework-imaplibrary

Notice that using ``--upgrade`` above updates both the library and all
its dependencies to the latest version. If you want, you can also install
a specific version:

.. code:: console

pip install robotframework-imaplibrary==x.x.x

Proxy configuration
'''''''''''''''''''

If you are behind a proxy, you can use ``--proxy`` command line option
or set ``http_proxy`` and/or ``https_proxy`` environment variables to
configure ``pip`` to use it. If you are behind an authenticating NTLM proxy,
you may want to consider installing CNTML_ to handle communicating with it.

For more information about ``--proxy`` option and using pip with proxies
in general see:

- http://pip-installer.org/en/latest/usage.html
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9698557/how-to-use-pip-on-windows-behind-an-authenticating-proxy
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14149422/using-pip-behind-a-proxy

Manual installation
'''''''''''''''''''

If you do not have network connection or cannot make proxy to work, you need
to resort to manual installation. This requires installing both the library
and its dependencies yourself.

- Make sure you have `Robot Framework installed`_.

- Download source distributions (``*.tar.gz``) for the library:

- https://pypi.python.org/pypi/robotframework-imaplibrary

- Download PGP signatures (``*.tar.gz.asc``) for signed packages.

- Find each public key used to sign the package:

.. code:: console

gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --search-keys D1406DE7

- Select the number from the list to import the public key

- Verify the package against its PGP signature:

.. code:: console

gpg --verify robotframework-imaplibrary-x.x.x.tar.gz.asc robotframework-imaplibrary-x.x.x.tar.gz

- Extract each source distribution to a temporary location.

- Go to each created directory from the command line and install each project using:

.. code:: console

python setup.py install

If you are on Windows, and there are Windows installers available for
certain projects, you can use them instead of source distributions.
Just download 32bit or 64bit installer depending on your system,
double-click it, and follow the instructions.
