## Requirement Installation: Python >= 3.2
Ensure you have at least Python 3.2 or newer installed on
the **source host**.
You can check this by running **python -V**:
% python -V
Python 3.3.0
### Archlinux
Archlinux includes a recent python in the extra repository.
You can install it using
pacman -S python
### CentOS
See the "From source" section
### Debian
For Debian **wheezy** or newer:
aptitude install python3
On **squeeze** you can add following line in **/etc/apt/sources.list**
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy main
And add pinning entry in **/etc/apt/preferences.d/wheezy**:
Package: *
Pin: release n=wheezy
Pin-Priority: 1
Please be aware that both **openssh-server** and **openssh-client** might be
removed on **python3.2** installation. You surely want to reinstall them:
apt-get install -t wheezy openssh-server openssh-client
For older Debian versions, installing python 3.2 from source is required.
If you want to build the cdist manpages:
aptitude install --without-recommends asciidoc xsltproc
### Fedora
Fedora 15 and newer includes a recent python.
You can install it using
yum install python3
### FreeBSD
For the port:
cd /usr/ports/lang/python32/ && make install clean
For the package:
pkg_add -r python32
You can also use any newer version, but at least python 3.2 is required.
### Gentoo
Gentoo only provides python 3.2 in testing packages (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=3).
If you want to ensure nothing breaks you must set back the python version to what was default before.
emerge -av =python-3.2.2 --autounmask-write
emerge -av =python-3.2.2
eselect python list
eselect python list set python3.2
### Max OS X
You can choose between Homebrew and Macports, either way works:
[Homebrew](http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/) variant:
brew install python3
[Macports](http://www.macports.org/install.php) variant:
port install python32
ln -s /opt/local/bin/python3.2 /opt/local/bin/python3
### Redhat
See the "From source" section
### From Source
For those operating systems not yet supporting Python 3.2:
pyversion=3.2.3
wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/$pyversion/Python-${pyversion}.tar.bz2
tar xvfj Python-${pyversion}.tar.bz2
cd Python-${pyversion}
./configure
make
sudo make install
This installs python 3.2 to /usr/local/bin.
Ensure this directory is in your PATH environment variable.
## Install cdist
You can install cdist either from git or as a python package.
@ -141,10 +33,8 @@ To install cdist, execute the following commands:
cd cdist
export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd -P)/bin
If you want to build and use the manpages, run:
make man
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$(pwd -P)/doc/man
From version 4.2.0 cdist tags and github releases are signed.
You can get GPG public key used for signing [here](/software/cdist/pgp-key-EFD2AE4EC36B6901.asc).
#### Available versions in git
@ -169,6 +59,36 @@ If the main site is down, you can acquire cdist from one of the following sites:
* git://github.com/telmich/cdist.git ([github](https://github.com/telmich/cdist))
* git://git.code.sf.net/p/cdist/code ([sourceforge](https://sourceforge.net/p/cdist/code))
#### Building and using documentation (man and html)
If you want to build and use the documentation, run:
make docs
Documentation comes in two formats, man pages and full HTML
documentation. Documentation is built into distribution's
docs/dist directory. man pages are in docs/dist/man and
HTML documentation in docs/dist/html.
If you want to use man pages, run:
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$(pwd -P)/docs/dist/man
Or you can move manpages from docs/dist/man directory to some
other directory and add it to MANPATH.
Full HTML documentation can be accessed at docs/dist/html/index.html.
You can also build manpages for types in your ~/.cdist directory:
make dotman
Built manpages are now in docs/dist/man directory. If you have
some other custom .cdist directory, e.g. /opt/cdist then use:
DOT_CDIST_PATH=/opt/cdist make dotman
### Python Package
Cdist is available as a python package at
