Downloading and installing Flask-Restless ========================================= Flask-Restless can be downloaded from `its page on the Python Package Index `_. The development version can be downloaded from `its page at GitHub `_. However, it is better to install with ``pip`` (hopefully in a virtual environment provided by ``virtualenv``):: pip install Flask-Restless Flask-Restless has the following dependencies (which will be automatically installed if you use ``pip``): * `Flask `_ version 0.7 or greater * `SQLAlchemy `_ * `python-dateutil `_ version strictly greater than 2.0 if you are using Python 2.6 or Python 2.7, version strictly less than 2.0 if you are using Python 2.5 * `simplejson `_, *only if* you are using Python 2.5 * `Flask-SQLAlchemy `_, *only if* you want to define your models using Flask-SQLAlchemy (which we highly recommend) Flask-Restless requires Python version 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7. Python 3 support will come when Flask has it.
