tox installation
==================================
Install info in a nutshell
----------------------------------
**Pythons**: CPython 2.7 and 3.5 or later, Jython-2.5.1, pypy-1.9ff
**Operating systems**: Linux, Windows, OSX, Unix
**Installer Requirements**: setuptools_
**License**: MIT license
**git repository**: https://github.com/tox-dev/tox
Installation with pip
--------------------------------------
Use the following command:
.. code-block:: shell
pip install tox
It is fine to install ``tox`` itself into a virtualenv_ environment.
Install from clone
-------------------------
Consult the GitHub page how to clone the git repository:
https://github.com/tox-dev/tox
and then install in your environment with something like:
.. code-block:: shell
$ cd <path/to/clone>
$ pip install .
or install it `editable <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#editable-installs>`_ if you want code changes to propagate automatically:
.. code-block:: shell
$ cd <path/to/clone>
$ pip install --editable .
so that you can do changes and submit patches.
[Linux/macOS] Install via your package manager
----------------------------------------------
You can also find tox packaged for many Linux distributions and Homebrew for macOs - usually under the name of **python-tox** or simply **tox**. Be aware though that there also other projects under the same name (most prominently a `secure chat client <https://tox.chat/>`_ with no affiliation to this project), so make sure you install the correct package.
