Since installation instructions may in general depend on the particular FFGo version you want to install, they are always included in release tarballs and zip files, precisely in the <tt>docs/INSTALL</tt> folder. Such tarballs and zip files can be downloaded from [https://frougon.net/projects/FFGo/ FFGo's home page] as well as from [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/FFGo FFGo's page on PyPI] (PyPI being [https://pypi.python.org/pypi the Python Package Index]). However, apart from the addition of a small number of optional dependencies, the installation method hasn't changed since FFGo 1.0.0, therefore there is little risk for now using the online [https://github.com/frougon/FFGo/blob/master/docs/INSTALL/INSTALL_en Git version of the installation guide]. | Since installation instructions may in general depend on the particular FFGo version you want to install, they are always included in release tarballs and zip files, precisely in the <tt>docs/INSTALL</tt> folder.

The guide mentioned in the previous paragraph is rather detailed, because it explains a few concepts that may be new to users who are not Python developers, and tries to give general instructions covering all common cases, which is not very easy given that Python may or may not be shipped depending on the particular operation system in use (Windows, Linux, | The guide mentioned in the previous paragraph is rather detailed, because it explains a few concepts that may be new to users who are not Python developers, and tries to give general instructions covering all common cases, which is not very easy given that Python may or may not be shipped depending on the particular operation system in use (Windows, Linux, macOS, etc.). To the contrary, the following sections give specific instructions applicable in the most common cases on each OS where I know a working procedure. They are more practical, probably easier to follow than the installation guide, at the expense of being less generic. | ||
