Installation
------------

Please see the `garden docs <https://kivy-garden.github.io/>`_ for full installation instructions.

If the tickmarker maintainer has uploaded tickmarker to
`pypi <https://pypi.org/>`_, you can just install it with
`pip install kivy_garden.tickmarker`.

You can install tickmarker master directly from github with::

    python -m pip install https://github.com/kivy-garden/tickmarker/archive/master.zip

Look under the repository's releases tab if you'd like to install a specific
release or a pre-compiled wheel, if tickmarker has any. Then use the url with
`pip`.

Or you can automatically install it using garden's pypi server with::

    python -m pip install kivy_garden.tickmarker --extra-index-url https://kivy-garden.github.io/simple/

To permanently add our garden server to your pip configuration so that you
don't have to specify it with `--extra-index-url`, add::

    [global]
    timeout = 60
    index-url = https://kivy-garden.github.io/simple/

to your `pip.conf <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#config-file>`_.
