Installation
===================
C++ Cap'n Proto Library
---------------------
You need to install the C++ Cap'n Proto library first. It requires a C++ compiler with C++11 support, such as GCC 4.7+ or Clang 3.2+. Follow installation docs at `http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/install.html <http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/install.html>`_ with an added `sudo ldconfig` after you're done installing, or if you're feeling lazy, you can run the commands below::
wget https://github.com/kentonv/capnproto/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd capnproto-master/c++
./setup-autotools.sh
autoreconf -i
./configure
make -j6 check
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
Pip
---------------------
Using pip is by far the easiest way to install the library. After you've installed the C++ library, all you need to run is::
pip install capnp
From Source
---------------------
If you want the latest development version, you can clone the github repo and install like so::
git clone https://github.com/jparyani/capnpc-python-cpp.git
pip install capnpc-python-cpp
or::
cd capnpc-python-cpp
python setup.py install
If you don't use pip, you will need to manually install Cython, and a setuptools with a version > .7.
Once you're done installing, take a look at the :ref:`quickstart`
