$ sudo aptitude install python-pip
On Fedora:
$ sudo yum install python-pip
On Arch:
$ pacman -S python2-pip

Next, install python from Hombrew:
$ brew install python
This will also install pip.

At the moment, combox is not compatible with Windows. The following
sections describe how to set up the development environment on
Windows.
setup python, pip and virtualenv¶
Install python v2.7.x first: python.org/downloads/windows
Add python to PATH:
%PATH%;C:\Python27
Make sure python works from Windows Powershell
Get a copy of get-pip.py.
From Windows Powershell, cd to the directory containing
get-pip.py file and do:
python get-pip.y
That should install pip and setuptools.
Next, add pip to PATH:
%PATH%;C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts
Make sure pip works from Windows Powershell by doing:
pip --version
Lastly, install virtualenv:
pip install virtualenv
install git¶
Get a copy of git from git-scm.com/download/win
In the “Adjusting your PATH environment” screen in the git
installation wizard, choose the “Use Git from the Windows Command
Prompt”
Make sure git works from Windows Powershell by doing:
git --version
setup combox¶
