###Installing with SetupTools

If you have [SetupTools][] installed on your system, use the standard method of installing python packages for your system (see [easy_install docs][]). On most systems run the following as a root/admin user:

easy_install markdown

[SetupTools]: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/
[easy_install docs]: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#downloading-and-installing-a-package

###Manual Installation

[Download][] the source from [PyPI][Download] or a [SourceForge mirror][].

On Windows, simply run the installer.

On all other systems, extract the files. If you want to install
markdown as a module into your python tree, from the directory where you unpacked the files run:

sudo python setup.py install

You typically
need to be root to install modules this way - hence the use of "sudo".  If
you don't have root access, it probably doesn't make sense for you to
"install" markdown this way - just put the markdown.py file somewhere
and make sure that directory is on your PYTHONPATH.

[Download]: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Markdown/
[SourceForge mirror]: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=153041

###Now what?

If you want to use markdown as a command-line tool, please proceed to [[Command Line]].  If you want to use it as a module, go to [[Using as a Module]].  If you want to use it with some of the popular frameworks (e.g., Django) or wikis (e.g., MoinMoin), go to [[Integration]].
