Installation from source
------------------------

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
<https://github.com/scikits-image/scikits.image/zipball/master>`_.

The SciKit can be installed globally using

or locally using

If you prefer, you can use it without installing, by simply adding
this path to your PYTHONPATH variable and compiling extensions
in-place::
