+Installation
+------------
You can install ``cryptography`` with ``pip``:
.. code-block:: console
$ pip install cryptography
-.. note::
-
- If you're on Windows you'll need to make sure you have OpenSSL installed.
- There are `pre-compiled binaries`_ available. If your installation is in
- an unusual location set the ``LIB`` and ``INCLUDE`` environment variables
- to include the corresponding locations. For example:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- C:\> \path\to\vcvarsall.bat x86_amd64
- C:\> set LIB=C:\OpenSSL-1.0.1f-64bit\lib;%LIB%
- C:\> set INCLUDE=C:\OpenSSL-1.0.1f-64bit\include;%INCLUDE%
- C:\> pip install cryptography
