Use pip:
$ pip install libtaxii
You might also want to consider using a virtualenv.
The libtaxii library is developed on Python 2.7 and tested against both Python 2.6 and 2.7. Besides the Python Standard Library, libtaxii relies on the following Python libraries:
Each of these can be installed with pip or by manually downloading packages from PyPI. On Windows, you will probably have the most luck using pre-compiled binaries for lxml. On Ubuntu (12.04 or 14.04), you should make sure the following packages are installed before attempting to compile lxml from source:
Note
In libtaxii 1.0.101 and earlier, the M2Crypto library was also required. This dependency was removed as of libtaxii 1.0.102.
Warning
Users have encountered errors with versions of libxml2 (a dependency of lxml) prior to version 2.9.1. The default version of libxml2 provided on Ubuntu 12.04 is currently 2.7.8. Users are encouraged to upgrade libxml2 manually if they have any issues. Ubuntu 14.04 provides libxml2 version 2.9.1.
If you are unable to use pip, you can also install libtaxii with setuptools. If you don’t already have setuptools installed, please install it before continuing.
$ tar -zxf libtaxii-1.1.106.tar.gz $ ls libtaxii-1.1.106 libtaxii-1.1.106.tar.gz
OR
$ unzip libtaxii-1.1.106.zip $ ls libtaxii-1.1.106 libtaxii-1.1.106.zip
$ cd libtaxii-1.1.106 $ python setup.py install
