tar -xvf libxml2-2.9.1.tar.gz
cd libxml2-2.9.1
./configure && make && make install
```

#### Linux (CentOS)

```sh
yum install libxml2-devel xmlsec1-devel xmlsec1-openssl-devel libtool-ltdl-devel
```

#### Mac

```sh
brew install libxml2 libxmlsec1
```

#### Mac

If you get any fatal errors about missing .h files, update your C_INCLUDE_PATH environment variable to
include the appropriate files from the libxml2 and libxmlsec1 libraries.

## Contributing

### Setting up your environment

1. Follow steps 1 and 2 of the [manual installation instructions][].

[manual installation instructions]: #manual

2. Initialize a virtual environment to develop in.
This is done so as to ensure every contributor is working with
close-to-identicial versions of packages.

```sh
mkvirtualenv xmlsec
```

The `mkvirtualenv` command is available from `virtualenvwrapper` which
can be installed by following: http://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html#basic-installation

3. Install **xmlsec** in development mode with testing enabled.
This will download all dependencies required for running the unit tests.

```sh
pip install -r requirements-test.txt
pip install -e "."
```

### Running the test suite

1. [Set up your environment](#setting-up-your-environment).

2. Run the unit tests.

```sh
py.test tests
```
