Documentation
-------------
For further documentation on this package, please read the `Stable Version <http://pythonhosted.org/bob.db.utfvp/index.html>`_ or the `Latest Version <https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob/docs/latest/bioidiap/bob.db.utfvp/master/index.html>`_ of the documentation.

2. You can download it in its source form from `its git repository
<https://github.com/bioidiap/xbob.db.utfvp>`_. When you download the
version at the git repository, you will need to run a command to recreate
the backend SQLite file required for its operation. This means that the
database raw files must be installed somewhere in this case. With option
``a`` you can run in `dummy` mode and only download the raw data files for
the database once you are happy with your setup.

You can mix and match points 1/2 and a/b above based on your requirements. Here
are some examples:
Modify your setup.py and download from PyPI
===========================================
That is the easiest. Edit your ``setup.py`` in your satellite package and add
the following entry in the ``install_requires`` section (note: ``...`` means
`whatever extra stuff you may have in-between`, don't put that on your
script)::
install_requires=[
...
"bob==1.2.2", # base signal proc./machine learning library
"xbob.db.utfvp",
],
Proceed normally with your ``boostrap/buildout`` steps and you should be all
set. That means you can now import the ``xbob.db.utfvp`` namespace into your scripts.
Modify your buildout.cfg and download from git
==============================================
You will need to add a dependence to `mr.developer
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mr.developer/>`_ to be able to install from our
git repositories. Your ``buildout.cfg`` file should contain the following
