Quick Installation

You can also read the detailed installation instructions.

First, install the required Python packages::

pip install elpy rope

(Note: If you are installing the development version of elpy, do not install the elpy Python package, but simply put the repository in your PYTHONPATH.)

Evaluate this in your *scratch* buffer:

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/"))

Then run M-x package-refresh-contents to load the contents of the new repository, and M-x package-install RET elpy RET to install elpy.

Finally, add the following to your .emacs:

(package-initialize)
(elpy-enable)

Done.
