+=== Using `easy_install`
 One way to install Trac is using `setuptools`.
-With setuptools you can install Trac from the subversion repository; for example,
-to install release version 0.12dev do:
-{{{
-easy_install Trac==dev
-}}}

-Note that as long as [Genshi:milestone:0.6 Genshi 0.6] is not released, you'll need to do:
-{{{
-easy_install Genshi==dev
-}}}
-before, otherwise you'll get the following error:
-{{{
-No local packages or download links found for Genshi>=0.6dev-r1072
-error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('Genshi>=0.6dev-r1072')

+You can obtain the source for a .tar.gz or .zip file corresponding to a release (e.g. Trac-0.12b1.tar.gz), or you can get the source directly from the repository (see Trac:SubversionRepository for details).

+{{{
 $ python ./setup.py install

-See SubversionRepository for details about getting the source.
