Install guide¶
Install Python¶
In order to install Splinter, make sure Python is installed. Note: only Python 2.7+ is supported.
Download Python from http://www.python.org. If you’re using Linux or Mac OS X, it is probably already installed.
Install splinter¶
Basically, there are two ways to install Splinter:
Install a stable release¶
If you’re interested on an official and almost bug-free version, just run from the Terminal:
$ [sudo] pip install splinter
Install under-development source-code¶
Otherwise, if you want Splinter’s latest-and-greatest features and aren’t afraid of running under development code, run:
$ git clone git://github.com/cobrateam/splinter.git
$ cd splinter
$ [sudo] python setup.py install
Notes:
make sure you have already set up your development environment.
in this second case, make sure Git is installed.
in order to use Chrome webdriver, you need to setup Google Chrome properly.
