System-Wide Installation, Other
===============================
Download the tar.gz version of the package from the website. Then run these

tar -zxvf offlineimap_x.y.z.tar.gz
cd offlineimap-x.y.z

On some systems, you will need to use python instead of python2.6. Next,
proceed to below. You will type offlineimap to invoke the program.
Get your own copy of the official git repository at `OfflineIMAP`_::
git clone git://github.com/nicolas33/offlineimap.git
This will download all the sources with history. By default, git set up the
local master branch up which is most likely what you want. If not, you can
checkout a particular release::
cd offlineimap
git checkout -b local_version v6.3.3
The latter creates a local branch called "local_version" of the v6.3.3 release.
Then run these commands, to build the python package::
make clean
make
Finally, install the program (as root)::
python setup.py install
Next, proceed to below. You will type offlineimap to invoke the program.
