General notes
-------------
You need to do some platform specific preparation steps (to install libraries
and tools) followed by the generic installation of |project_name| itself:
Below, we describe different ways to install |project_name|.
- (dist package) - easy and fast, needs a distribution and platform specific
binary package (for your Linux/*BSD/OS X/... distribution).
- (wheel) - easy and fast, needs a platform specific borgbackup binary wheel,
which matches your platform [OS and CPU]).
- (pypi) - installing a source package from pypi needs more installation steps
and will compile stuff - try this if there is no binary wheel that works for
you.
- (git) - for developers and power users who want to have the latest code or
use revision control (each release is tagged).
Even though Python 3 is not the default Python version on many systems, it is
usually available as an optional install.

If you install into a virtual environment, you need to activate
the virtual env first (``source borg-env/bin/activate``).
Alternatively, directly run ``borg-env/bin/borg`` (or symlink that into some
directory that is in your PATH so you can just run ``borg``).
Using a virtual environment is optional, but recommended except for the most
simple use cases.
The llfuse_ python package is also required if you wish to mount an
archive as a FUSE filesystem. Only FUSE >= 2.8.0 can support llfuse.

Installation (dist package)
---------------------------
Some Linux, *BSD and OS X distributions might offer a ready-to-use
|project_name| package (which can be easily installed in the usual way).
Some of the steps detailled below might be useful also for non-git installs.
As |project_name| is still relatively new, such a package might be not
available for your system yet. Please ask package maintainers to build a
package or, if you can package / submit it yourself, please help us with
that!
If a package is available, it might be interesting for you to check its version
and compare that to our latest release and review the change log (see links on
our web site).

This uses the latest binary wheel release.

# Check https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/147 for the correct

sudo pip install borgbackup-*.whl
# home directory installation, no sudo/root needed:
