This is a manual for installing Gunicorn and its dependencies.
Gunicorn requires Python 2.x superior to 2.5 to work. Python 3.x will be supported soon.
To install Gunicorn using easy_install you must make sure you have a recent version of setuptools installed (as of this writing, 0.6c6 (0.6a9 on windows) or later):
$ curl -O http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py $ sudo python ez_setup.py -U setuptools
To install or upgrade to the latest released version of Gunicorn:
$ sudo easy_install -U gunicorn
To install Gunicorn from source, simply use the normal procedure for installing any Python package. Since Gunicorn uses setuptools, all dependencies (including setuptools itself) will be automatically acquired and installed for you as appropriate.
You could download latest sources from Github Downloads
Or fetch them with git. Therefore we have to install git and then run:
$ git clone git://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn.git
$ python setup.py install
If you're using a git clone, it's recommended to use the setuptools develop command, which will simply activate Gunicorn directly from your source directory. This way you can do a hg fetch or make changes to the source code without re-installing every time:
$ python setup.py develop
