Autoinst Installation Guide
This guide describes the steps for installing Autoinst on a UNIX system from source code.
System Requirements
In order to install Autoinst, your system should meet the following requirements:
- Apache 2.0 or 2.2. Apache 2 is required because mod_dav_svn requires it.
- Python 2.3 through 2.6 can be used. The system has been tested on Python 2.4 and 2.6.
- Subversion 1.4 or 1.5 with the Python bindings.
- libxml2 2.5.20 or higher, with the Python bindings.
- libxslt 1.0.3 or higher, with the Python bindings.
- lxml 2.1 or higher
For systems that only need to install 'aiupdate', only Python 2.3 thru 2.6 is required. An explanation of the difference between a full Autoinst install and 'aiupdate' can be found in the UserGuide.
Getting the Source Code
The Autoinst source code can be found here:
Or, you can check the source code out of the Autoinst Subversion repository by following these instructions.

$ cd autoinst $ python setup.py install
