Getting bugwarrior

Requirements

To use bugwarrior, you need python 2.7 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, 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]"

The following extra dependency sets are available:
