Installation

Installation from source requires the use of the Rust language for compilation of extensions. The “Nightly” channel of rust is required. Download a package from rust-lang.org.

You can then create a wheel, which will contain the compiled shared library, by running make. Or, run python setup.py install to install in your current environment.
