Since ArcREST's repository directory structure doesn't follow that expected of the usual Python packages (some files that usually appear in the root directory are in the src directory instead), care must be taken to install it using specific commands.
- Install from PyPI using pip:
This is recommended in README.md. The package in PyPI is a static build of ArcREST and is not dependent on the contents of the git repository, so the unusual directory structure isn't an impediment.
pip install arcrest_package
