Installation
============

The SDK currently supports Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.3. The `requests`_ package is
required.

We recommend using `pip`_ and `virtualenv`_ to install the SDK. Please note
that the SDK's Python package is called **facebook-sdk**: ::

    virtualenv facebookenv
    source facebookenv/bin/activate
    pip install facebook-sdk

.. _requests: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests
.. _pip: http://www.pip-installer.org/
.. _virtualenv: http://www.virtualenv.org/
