Installation

Prerequisites

You'll need libxml2 to use Scrapy. I installed libxml2 using Fink, which I then made accessible to my Python installation by adding it to my $PYTHONPATH variable in my .profile file:

export PYTHONPATH="/fink/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH"

Build/Install

Scrapy can be installed by downloading the tarball, unzipping it, and doing the usual Python build/install steps:

$ python setup.py build

$ python setup.py install
