# Installation

This part of the documentation covers the installation of Flask-WTF. The first step to using any software package is getting it properly installed.

## Distribute & Pip

Installing Flask-WTF is simple with pip:

    $ pip install Flask-WTF

or, with easy_install:

    $ easy_install Flask-WTF

But, you really shouldn't do that.

## Get the Code

Flask-WTF is actively developed on GitHub, where the code is always available.

You can either clone the public repository:

    git clone git://github.com/lepture/flask-wtf.git

Download the tarball:

    $ curl -OL https://github.com/lepture/flask-wtf/tarball/master

Or, download the zipball:

    $ curl -OL https://github.com/lepture/flask-wtf/zipball/master

Once you have a copy of the source, you can embed it in your Python package, or install it into your site-packages easily:

    $ python setup.py install
