Obtain the source from the git-repository at
`http://github.com/scikits-image/scikits-image
<http://github.com/scikits-image/scikits-image>`_.

by running

::

  git clone http://github.com/scikits-image/scikits-image.git

in a terminal (You will need to have git installed on your machine).

If you do not have git installed, you can also download a zipball from
`https://github.com/scikits-image/scikits-image/zipball/master

The SciKit can be installed globally using

If you prefer, you can use it without installing, by simply adding
