Installation

The simplest way to install FORD is using pip. This can be done with the command

sudo pip install ford

Pip will automatically handle all dependencies for you. If you do not have administrative rights on the computer where you want to produce documentation, you can install FORD and its dependencies in a virtualenv located somewhere in your home directory.

If you prefer, you can install all of those dependencies manually and clone FORD from Github. Place FORD somewhere in your PYTHONPATH.

Alternatively, on Mac OS X, FORD can be installed with the [Homebrew[(http://brew.sh) package manager. To install the latest release published via Homebrew, use the command:

brew install FORD

If you prefer to install the current development master branch directly from github use:

brew install --HEAD FORD
