Before installing vdist, it is important that you have the Docker daemon running. I recommend getting the latest version of Docker to use with vdist.

Installing vdist is as easy as this:

$ pip install vdist

Alternatively, you can clone the source directly from Github and install its dependencies via pip. When doing that, I recommend using virtualenv. For example:

$ git clone https://github.com/objectified/vdist
$ cd vdist
$ virtualenv .
$ . bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
