You will need Python. (Beets is written for `Python 2.7`_, but it works with
2.5 and 2.6 as well. Python 3.x is not yet supported.)

* **Mac OS X** v10.7 (Lion) includes Python 2.7 out of the box; Snow Leopard
ships with Python 2.6.
* On **Ubuntu**, you can get everything you need by running:
``apt-get install python-dev python-setuptools python-pip``
* On **Debian or Ubuntu**, depending on the version, beets is available as an
official package (`Debian details`_, `Ubuntu details`_), so try typing:
``apt-get install beets``. To build from source, you can get everything you
need by running: ``apt-get install python-dev python-setuptools python-pip``
* For **Arch Linux**, try getting `beets from AUR`_. (There's also a `dev
package`_, which is likely broken.) If you don't want to use the AUR build,
this suffices to get the dependencies: ``pacman -S base-devel python2-pip``
* For **Arch Linux**, try getting `beets from AUR`_. (There's also a
bleeding-edge `dev package`_, which will probably set your computer on fire.)
* If you're on **CentOS** 5, you have Python 2.4. To get 2.6,
`try this yum repository`_.

If you have `pip`_, just say ``pip install beets`` (you might need ``sudo`` in
front of that). Otherwise, head over to the `Downloads`_ area, download the most
front of that). On Arch, you'll need to use ``pip2`` instead of ``pip``.
To install without pip, head over to the `Downloads`_ area, download the most
recent source distribution, and run ``python setup.py install`` in the directory
therein.
