newbie installing pip distribute

Question

I am trying to install distribute which is a required for installing pip(needed to use django-selectable functions).

I am following this tutorial.

I downloaded distribute and ran distribute_setup.py , but now I don't know where to go, to have my pip installed.

They say:

If your shell has the curl program you can do:

$ curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
$ python distribute_setup.py

I guess I don't have curl program, my Python shell doesn't recognize curl.

Any help would be appreciated.

You dont need curl. Just go to the url, copy the contents to a file and save it as `distribute_setup.py` and run the python command — karthikr, May 20 '13 at 15:59
which environment are you using ? If *nix, just type `pip` on the terminal — karthikr, May 20 '13 at 16:04
You can do `/pip.exe install django-selectable` . Use google to figure such things out. You will get to know a lot more — karthikr, May 20 '13 at 16:08
Ok. see where your pip.exe is (most likely in the lib) and execute the command. If not, google for how to add pip to the environment — karthikr, May 20 '13 at 16:19

You don't use curl from your python shell, you use it from the terminal
