How to use easy_install
Command line help:
easy_install --help
Online documentation:
Install a new module:
easy_install --user MODULENAME
Update an existing module:
easy_install --user -U MODULENAME
Modules will be installed in your home within ~/.local/. You do not need to adapt the PYTHONPATH environment variable since python will look for modules in this directory automatically.
