    either use a released version or install from source 
 
+=== Using `pip`
+'pip' is an easy_install replacement that is very useful to quickly install python packages.
+To get a trac installation up and running in less than 5 minutes:
+
+Assuming you want to have your entire pip installation in /opt/user/trac
+
+ - 
+{{{
+pip -E /opt/user/trac install trac psycopg2 
+}}}
+or
+ - 
+{{{
+pip -E /opt/user/trac install trac mysql-python 
+}}}
+
+Make sure your OS specific headers are available for pip to automatically build PostgreSQL (libpq-dev) or MySQL (libmysqlclient-dev) bindings.
+
+pip will automatically resolve all dependencies (like Genshi, pygments, etc.) and download the latest packages on pypi.python.org and create a self contained installation in /opt/user/trac 
+
+All commands (tracd, trac-admin) are available in /opt/user/trac/bin . This can also be leveraged for mod_python (using PythonHandler directive) and mod_wsgi (using WSGIDaemonProcess directive)
+
+Additionally, you can install several trac plugins (listed [http://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=search&term=trac&submit=search here]) through pip.
+
+
+
 === From source
 Of course, using the python-typical setup at the top of the source directory also works.
