How to install latest version of fabric

Question

How do I install the latest version of fabric on debian? When calling

apt-get install fabric

version 0.9.1 is being installed. The most recent version is 1.4.3 though.

Answer 1

In my case I had to install the following packages:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-dev python-setuptools gcc
sudo easy_install pip
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libffi-dev
sudo pip install six==1.6.0
sudo pip install fabric

Answer 2

You can install the latest version from PyPI using pip or easy_install.

For example:

apt-get install python-setuptools  # for easy_install
easy_install pip
pip install fabric
