If you +don't already have pip on your system, you can find installation instructions +[here](http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html). + + +## Installing the latest release + +A single command will download and install the latest release of mitmproxy, +along with all its dependencies: + +
+pip install mitmproxy
+
+ + +## Installing from source + +When installing from source, the easiest method is still to use pip. In this +case run: + +
+pip install /path/to/source
+
+ +Note that if you're installing current git master, you will also have to +install the current git master of [netlib](http://github.com/mitmproxy/netlib) by +hand. + +## OSX + +- If you're running a Python interpreter installed with homebrew (or similar), +you may have to install some dependencies by hand. +- Make sure that XCode is installed from the App Store, and that the +command-line tools have been downloaded (XCode/Preferences/Downloads). +- Now use __pip__ to do the installation, as above. + +There are a few bits of customization you might want to do to make mitmproxy +comfortable to use on OSX. The default color scheme is optimized for a dark +background terminal, but you can select a palette for a light terminal +background with the --palette option. You can use the OSX open program +to create a simple and effective ~/.mailcap file to view request and +response bodies: + +
+application/*; /usr/bin/open -Wn %s
+audio/*; /usr/bin/open -Wn %s
+image/*; /usr/bin/open -Wn %s
+video/*; /usr/bin/open -Wn %s
