Re: [Fab-user] easy_install fabric; fab --list crashes

[Jeff Forcier]

Fab 0.9 is not available on the Cheese Shop, as it's not had a final
release yet :) so it cannot actually be easy_installed at this time.
(The docs are written "for" the released version, which is why it's
unfortunately confusing -- I wasn't intending to let the release
process drag on as long as it has.)

It *can* be pip installed, though, with pip install -e
git://git.fabfile.org/fabric.git#egg=Fabric (you will then need to
move into the git checkout in your Python lib directory, and do "git
checkout 0.9").

Unfortunately, Paramiko's current PyPI version has a serious bug, so
you will want to install that first. See the notes on
http://docs.fabfile.org/0.9/installation.html .

Best,
Jeff
