.. warning::

    This is an ALPHA! Be prepared for shit to break!

Requirements and Installation
=============================

User Setup
----------

The latest version (currently alpha only) can be found on PyPI_, and you can install via pip_::

   $ pip install griffin --pre

The ``--pre`` is needed to download since it's still in alpha.

Continue onto `usage`_ to get started on using ``griffin``.

Supported Python/Systems
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. warning::
  currently runs with Python 2.7 - but will get up to 3.3+ and PyPy

Both Linux and OS X are supported.



Developer Setup
---------------

If you'd like to contribute or develop upon ``griffin``, be sure to read `How to Contribute`_
first.

System requirements:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- C Compiler (gcc/clang/etc.)
- If on Linux - you'll need to install Python headers (e.g. ``apt-get install python-dev``)
- Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3+, or PyPy
- virtualenv_

Here's how to set your machine up::

    $ git clone git@github.com:spotify/griffin
    $ cd griffin
    $ virtualenv env
    $ source env/bin/activate
    (env) $ pip install -r dev-requirements.txt


Run Tests
^^^^^^^^^

If you'd like to run tests for all supported Python versions, you must have all Python versions
installed on your system.  I suggest pyenv_ to help with that.

To run all tests::

    (env) $ tox

To run a specific test setup (options include: ``py26``, ``py27``, ``py33``, ``py34``, ``pypy``,
``flake8``, ``verbose``, ``manifest``, ``docs``, ``setup``, ``setupcov``)::

    (env) $ tox -e py26

To run tests without tox::

    (env) $ py.test
    (env) $ py.test --cov griffin --cov-report term-missing


Build Docs
^^^^^^^^^^

Documentation is build with Sphinx_, written in rST, uses the `Read the Docs`_ theme with
a slightly customized CSS, and is hosted on `Read the Docs site`_.

To rebuild docs locally, within the parent ``griffin`` directory::

    (env) $ tox -e docs

or::

    (env) $ sphinx-build -b docs/ docs/_build


or::

    (env) $ cd docs
    (env) $ make html

Then within ``griffin/docs/_build`` you can open the index.html page in your browser.


Still have issues?
