Installation:</div>
<div> The easiest way to try them both and *not* affect your current system, is like so:</div><div> e.g. on Linux:</div><div> $ curl -L -O <a href="https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/archive/1.10rc3.tar.gz" target="_blank">https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/archive/1.10rc3.tar.gz</a></div>
<div> $ echo "b24cdf59b561acf26ae3f639098d5a34 1.10rc3.tar.gz" | md5sum -c</div><div> 1.10rc3.tar.gz: OK</div><div> $ tar zxf 1.10rc3.tar.gz</div><div> $ python virtualenv-1.10rc3/virtualenv.py myVE</div><div>
$ myVE/bin/pip --version</div><div> pip 1.4rc2</div><div><br></div><div> *Note*: If instead, you choose to upgrade an existing pip (and setuptools), know this:</div><div> 1) pip's wheel support requires setuptools>=0.8b2 (this will become final before pip is released final)</div>
<div> 2) setuptools-0.8bx is not on pypi and can be found here: <a href="https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/downloads" target="_blank">https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/downloads</a></div><div> 3) Older pip's can not currently upgrade distribute to setuptools (until distribute-0.7.3 is released on ~July-7th)</div>
