[ckan-discuss] Version advice for getting started

Mon May 13 14:36:16 BST 2013

Hi Don,

Impeccable timing, as CKAN 2.0 is released today! You should
definitely be installing CKAN 2.0, rather than 1.8 (which is lacking
various new features and will be more of a hassle to upgrade in
future) or 2.1 which is the current development version.

That seems to have something to do with this instruction:

> Download and install the latest version of CKAN.

>  (pyenv)$ pip install --ignore-installed -e git+https://github.com/okfn/ckan.git#egg=ckan

Can someone who understands these things say what the instruction
should be to get 2.0 (and preferably update the wiki page)?

Best,

Mark
