<h2>4.2. Install cdist<a class="headerlink" href="#install-cdist" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>You can install cdist either from git or as a python package.</p>
<div class="section" id="from-git">
<h3>4.2.1. From git<a class="headerlink" href="#from-git" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>Cloning cdist from git gives you the advantage of having
a version control in place for development of your own stuff
immediately.</p>
<p>To install cdist, execute the following commands:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>git clone https://github.com/ungleich/cdist.git
<span class="nb">cd</span> cdist
<span class="nb">export</span> <span class="nv">PATH</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">$PATH</span>:<span class="k">$(</span><span class="nb">pwd</span> -P<span class="k">)</span>/bin
</pre></div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="available-versions-in-git">
<h4>4.2.1.1. Available versions in git<a class="headerlink" href="#available-versions-in-git" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h4>
<blockquote>
<div><ul class="simple">
<li>The active development takes place in the <strong>master</strong> branch</li>
<li>The released versions can be found in the tags</li>
</ul>
</div></blockquote>
<p>Other branches may be available for features or bugfixes, but they
may vanish at any point. To select a specific branch use</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1"># Generic code</span>
git checkout -b &lt;localbranchname&gt; origin/&lt;branchname&gt;
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>So for instance if you want to use and stay with version 4.1, you can use</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>git checkout -b 4.1 origin/4.1
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="git-mirrors">
<h4>4.2.1.2. Git mirrors<a class="headerlink" href="#git-mirrors" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h4>
<p>If the main site is down, you can acquire cdist from one of the following sites:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ul class="simple">
<li>git://github.com/telmich/cdist.git <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/telmich/cdist">github</a></li>
<li>git://git.code.sf.net/p/cdist/code <a class="reference external" href="https://sourceforge.net/p/cdist/code">sourceforge</a></li>
</ul>
</div></blockquote>

<div class="section" id="building-and-using-documentation-man-and-html">
<h4>4.2.1.3. Building and using documentation (man and html)<a class="headerlink" href="#building-and-using-documentation-man-and-html" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h4>
<p>If you want to build and use the documentation, run:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>make docs
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If you want to use man pages, run:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nb">export</span> <span class="nv">MANPATH</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">$MANPATH</span>:<span class="k">$(</span><span class="nb">pwd</span> -P<span class="k">)</span>/docs/dist/man
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Or you can move man pages from docs/dist/man directory to some
other directory and add it to MANPATH.</p>
<p>Full HTML documentation can be accessed at docs/dist/html/index.html.</p>
<p>You can also build only man pages or only html documentation, for
only man pages run:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>make man
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>for only html documentation run:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>make html
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>You can also build man pages for types in your ~/.cdist directory:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>make dotman
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Built man pages are now in docs/dist/man directory. If you have
some other custom .cdist directory, e.g. /opt/cdist then use:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">DOT_CDIST_PATH</span><span class="o">=</span>/opt/cdist make dotman
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="python-package">
<h3>4.2.2. Python package<a class="headerlink" href="#python-package" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>Cdist is available as a python package at
<a class="reference external" href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cdist/">PyPi</a>. You can install it using</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>pip install cdist
