Install Scrapy code
===================
We're working hard to get the first release of Scrapy out. In the meantime, please download the latest development version from the Subversion_ repository.
To do this, follow this steps:
1. Check out Scrapy code (you will need to have Subversion_ installed):
.. code-block:: bash
svn co http://svn.scrapy.org/scrapy/trunk/ scrapy-trunk
2. Add Scrapy to your Python path. You can do this by making a symbolic link to your system ``site-packages`` directory like this:
.. code-block:: bash
ln -s `pwd`/scrapy-trunk/scrapy SITE-PACKAGES/scrapy
Where ``SITE-PACKAGES`` is the location of your system ``site-packages`` directory, to find this out execute the following:
.. code-block:: bash
python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()"
Or by adding the ``scrapy-trunk`` directory to your ``PYTHONPATH`` environment variable, like this:
.. code-block:: bash
export PYTHONPATH=`pwd`/scrapy-trunk:PYTHONPATH
3. Make the ``scrapy-trunk/scrapy/bin/scrapy-admin.py`` script executable system-wide. To do this create a symbolic link to the file in a directory on your sistem path, like:
.. code-block:: bash
ln -s `pwd`/scrapy-trunk/scrapy/bin/scrapy-admin.py /usr/local/bin
