Getting bugwarrior
==================

.. _requirements:

Requirements
------------

To use bugwarrior, you need python 3 and taskwarrior. Upon installation, the
setup script will automatically download and install missing python
dependencies.

Note that some of those dependencies have a C extension module (e.g. the
``cryptography`` package).  If those packages are not yet present on your
system, the setup script will try to build them locally, for which you will
need a C compiler (e.g. ``gcc``) and the necessary header files (python and,
for the cryptography package, openssl).
A convenient way to install those is to use your usual package manager
(``dnf``, ``yum``, ``apt``, etc).
Header files are installed from development packages (e.g.  ``python-devel``
and ``openssl-devel`` on Fedora or ``python-dev`` ``libssl-dev`` on Debian).
