Installing pyfingerd#

In order to run and tweak pyfingerd, you must first install it; this section will cover the need.

Installing pyfingerd using pip#

To install pyfingerd, you can use pip with the following command:

python -m pip install pyfingerd

Some notes on this command:

On most Linux distributions, you can directly call pip (or pip3 on those where Python 2.x is still the default).
On Linux and other UNIX-like distributions where Python 2.x is still the default, when Python 3.x is installed, you must usually call it using python3 instead of python.
On Microsoft Windows, the Python executable, when added to the PATH, goes by the name py instead of python.

To install pyfingerd from source, you can use the following commands:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python ./setup.py install --system # or --user
