The easiest way to install µWeb is to get it from the Python Package Index (https://pypi.python.org). For most Linux there is a commandline application @pip@ which facilitaties easy installation of packages from the Package Index. To begin, install @pip@ on Debian:

<pre><code class="bash">
8 3 Elmer de Looff
sudo apt-get install python-pip
9 3 Elmer de Looff
</code></pre>

After this, µWeb can be installed with the following command:

<pre><code class="bash">
14 3 Elmer de Looff
sudo pip install uweb

</code></pre>

This pulls in all the necessary requirements automatically and installs and configures them for you.

h2. MySQL support

µWeb requires a MySQL connector binary, which @pip@ will attempt to compile from source for you. If this is undesired (because it requires development headers for MySQL and Python, and some other packages), this MySQL requirement can be fulfilled by installing that package separately:
