Install OpenTAXII¶
To sandbox the project and protect system-wide python it is recommended to install OpenTAXII into a virtual environment (virtualenv).
Create a virtual environment named venv:
$ virtualenv venv
Where venv
is a directory to place the new environment
Activate this environment:
$ . venv/bin/activate
(venv) $
Now install the latest OpenTAXII release from the Python
Package Index (PyPI) using pip
:
(venv) $ pip install opentaxii
Without the virtual environment it’s just:
$ pip install opentaxii
Note
Since OpenTAXII has libtaxii as a dependency, the system libraries libtaxii will be installed. Check libtaxii documentation for the details.
To install OpenTAXII from source files: download tarball, unpack it and install it manually with:
$ python setup.py install
Versioning¶
Releases of OpenTAXII are given major.minor.revision version numbers, where major and minor correspond to the roadmap EclecticIQ has. The revision number is used to indicate a bug fix only release.
