newsletter contains a library for newsletters and a newsletterapp

Install newsletter with virtualenv and pip

This makes an isolated install for you, so it does not pollute your system packages:

virtualenv --no-site-packages --distribute myvirtualpython
cd myvirtualpython
source bin/activate
pip install newsletter --pre
newsletterapp --help

Installing with virtualenv and pip is recommended.

Install newsletter with ./configure; make

This is for old school unix peoples:

./configure; make

Install newsletter with setup.py

Using setup.py to install into your normal python sitewide directory:

python setup.py install
