| Installation can be done in various ways. The simplest form uses pip:: |
| Depending on your system you may need to use ``sudo pip`` if you want to install |
| the library system-wide, or use ``pip install --user rsa`` to install the |
| library in your home directory. |
| Installation from source is also quite easy. Download the source and |
| The sources are tracked in our `Git repository`_ at |
| GitHub. It also hosts the `issue tracker`_. |
| .. _`Git repository`: https://github.com/sybrenstuvel/python-rsa.git |

| Python-RSA is compatible with Python versions 3.5 and newer. The last |
| version with Python 2.7 support was Python-RSA 4.0. |
| Python-RSA has very few dependencies. As a matter of fact, to use it |
| you only need Python itself. Loading and saving keys does require an |
| extra module, though: pyasn1. If you used pip or easy_install like |
| described above, you should be ready to go. |
| In order to start developing on Python-RSA, use Git_ to get a copy of |
| git clone https://github.com/sybrenstuvel/python-rsa.git |
| Use Pipenv_ to install the development requirements in a virtual environment:: |
| .. _Git: https://git-scm.com/ |
