TurboGears Installation on Windows

Click on the link below that best describes what you have on your system:

I need Python!

  1. Download Python 2.4.1 for Windows.
  2. Run the installer
  3. Add Python to your path. Go to System Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables and add "C:\Python24;C:\Python24\Scripts". (If you installed Python to a directory other than C:\Python24, make sure you substitute the correct directory.)
  4. Continue on to the instructions to install with ez_setup

Installation with ez_setup

Even though you don't have Easy Install yet, you can still take advantage of it. Instead of one-command installation, it will be two-step installation. And, you'll have Easy Install for the next update!

  1. Download the ez_setup.py script.
  2. At your command prompt, switch to the directory that you downloaded ez_setup.py to and run ez_setup.py -f http://www.turbogears.org/download/index.html TurboGears.

Installation with Easy Install

Here we go! One command to get you up and running:

easy_install -f http://www.turbogears.org/download/index.html TurboGears

If you get an error message saying that the command was not recognized, you may need to set your path. Go to System Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables and add "C:\Python24;C:\Python24\Scripts". (If you installed Python to a directory other than C:\Python24, make sure you substitute the correct directory.)
