Install Scrapy

There are many ways to install Scrapy. Pick the one you feel more comfortable with.

Download and install an official release

Download Scrapy from the Download page. Scrapy is distributed in two ways: a source code tarball (for Unix and Mac OS X systems) and a Windows installer (for Windows). If you downloaded the tarball, you can install it as any Python package using setup.py:

tar zxf Scrapy-X.X.X.tar.gz
cd Scrapy-X.X.X
python setup.py install

If you downloaded the Windows installer, just run it.

Warning

In Windows, you may need to add the C:\Python25\Scripts (or C:\Python26\Scripts) folder to the system path by adding that directory to the PATH environment variable from the Control Panel.

Installing with easy_install

You can install Scrapy using setuptools's easy_install with:

easy_install -U Scrapy

Installing with pip

You can install Scrapy using pip with:

pip install Scrapy
