			The last step is to permanently add <code>/path/to/mechanize/lib/python2.7/site-packages</code> to your <code>$PYTHONPATH</code> in your .profile or .bashrc or wherever you set your <code>$PYTHONPATH</code> variable.

			To test it out, open Python and run the command:

			<pre>
			>>> import mechanize
			>>>
			</pre>

			If you installed it correctly, you should not see any error messages.

Created page with "=Installation= Download from the Mechanize page here: http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/download.html ==Configure/Build== First, pick a destination directory for mech..."

New page

=Installation=

Download from the Mechanize page here: http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/download.html

==Configure/Build==

First, pick a destination directory for mechanize. I'll use <code>/path/to/mechanize</code> as an example.

Next, run the following commands:

<source lang="bash">
# set installation path
export INSTALL_PATH="/path/to/mechanize"

# create the python site packages directory
export PACKAGE_PATH="${INSTALL_PATH}/lib/python2.7/site-packages"

# add the site packages to the PYTHONPATH variable
export PYTHONPATH=${PACKAGE_PATH}:${PYTHONPATH}

# build
python ./setup.py build

# install
python ./setup.py install --prefix=$[INSTALL_PATH}
</source>
