Maintaining multiple copies of instructions for how to install specific
extensions doesn't scale well.

*******************
Install from source
*******************
If you are on Linux, but can't install :ref:`from the APT archive
<debian-install>` or :ref:`from AUR <arch-install>`, you can install Mopidy
from PyPI using the ``pip`` installer.
If you are looking to contribute or wish to install from source using ``git``
please follow the directions :ref:`here <contributing>`.
#. First of all, you need Python 2.7. Check if you have Python and what
version by running::
python --version
#. You need to make sure you have ``pip``, the Python package installer. You'll
also need a C compiler and the Python development headers to build pyspotify
later.
This is how you install it on Debian/Ubuntu::
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-pip
And on Arch Linux from the official repository::
sudo pacman -S base-devel python2-pip
And on Fedora Linux from the official repositories::
sudo yum install -y gcc python-devel python-pip
.. note::
On Fedora Linux, you must replace ``pip`` with ``pip-python`` in the
following steps.
#. Then you'll need to install GStreamer 0.10 (>= 0.10.31, < 0.11), with Python
bindings. GStreamer is packaged for most popular Linux distributions. Search
for GStreamer in your package manager, and make sure to install the Python
bindings, and the "good" and "ugly" plugin sets.
If you use Debian/Ubuntu you can install GStreamer like this::
sudo apt-get install python-gst0.10 gstreamer0.10-plugins-good \
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-tools
If you use Arch Linux, install the following packages from the official
repository::
sudo pacman -S gstreamer0.10-python gstreamer0.10-good-plugins \
gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins
If you use Fedora you can install GStreamer like this::
sudo yum install -y python-gst0.10 gstreamer0.10-plugins-good \
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-tools
If you use Gentoo you need to be careful because GStreamer 0.10 is in a
different lower slot than 1.0, the default. Your emerge commands will need
to include the slot::
emerge -av gst-python gst-plugins-bad:0.10 gst-plugins-good:0.10 \
gst-plugins-ugly:0.10 gst-plugins-meta:0.10
``gst-plugins-meta:0.10`` is the one that actually pulls in the plugins you
want, so pay attention to the use flags, e.g. ``alsa``, ``mp3``, etc.
#. Install the latest release of Mopidy::
sudo pip install -U mopidy
This will use ``pip`` to install the latest release of `Mopidy from PyPI
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Mopidy>`_. To upgrade Mopidy to future
releases, just rerun this command.
Alternatively, if you want to track Mopidy development closer, you may
install a snapshot of Mopidy's ``develop`` Git branch using pip::
sudo pip install --allow-unverified=mopidy mopidy==dev
#. Optional: For Spotify support, Last.fm scrobbling, or many other extra
features, install the required Mopidy extensions. For a full list of
available Mopidy extensions, see :ref:`ext`.
#. Finally, you need to set a couple of :doc:`config values </config>`, and
then you're ready to :doc:`run Mopidy </running>`.
