Getting bugwarrior

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).

Installing from the Python Package Index

Installing from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bugwarrior is easy with pip:

$ pip install bugwarrior

By default, bugwarrior will be installed with support for the following services: Bitbucket, Github, Gitlab, Pagure, Phabricator, Redmine, Teamlab, and Versionone. There is optional support for Jira, Kanboard, Megaplan.ru, Active Collab, Debian BTS, Trac, Bugzilla, and but those require extra dependencies that are installed by specifying bugwarrior[service] in the commands above. For example, if you want to use bugwarrior with Jira:

$ pip install "bugwarrior[jira]"
