Installation

You can install SNEWS publishing tools (snews_pt) from PyPi via pip. We recommend doing things in a clean virtualenv to minimize conflicts with the rest of your python world. In the example below, using the environment named “snews2”, you can call it whatever.

Be sure you’ve added your hop credentials first.
