Setup VMCloakΒΆ

Given VMCloak is available as a Python Package it features a setup.py for easy installation. Besides of course installing VMCloak through pip using pip install -U vmcloak it is also possible to fetch the Git repository and install the package globally through sudo python setup.py install (or in a virtualenv through python setup.py install).

Fetching the repository through Git allows one access to the latest development version of VMCloak with features that may not have been pushed to the Python Package yet. A full example of installing VMCloak manually can be as follows:

$ git clone git://github.com/jbremer/vmcloak
$ cd vmcloak
$ sudo python setup.py install

For development purposes you’ll want to install it in development mode, preferably inside of a virtualenv:

(venv)$ git clone git://github.com/jbremer/vmcloak
(venv)$ cd vmcloak
(venv)$ python setup.py develop
