Ldaptor can be installed using the standard command line method::
python setup.py install
or using pip from PyPI::
pip install ldaptor
Linux distributions may also have ready packaged versions of Ldaptor and Twisted. Debian and Ubuntu have quality Ldaptor packages that can be installed e.g., by::
apt-get install python-ldaptor
To run the LDAP server (bind port 38942) from a repo checkout with the project installed::
twistd -n --pidfile=ldapserver.pid --logfile=ldapserver.log \
-y test-ldapserver.tac
