Installation

Portal Gun has the following external dependencies:

• boto3 - to make requests to AWS;
• Fabric - to execute commands over ssh;
• marshmallow - for serialization.

Note that Python 3 is not supported yet, because Fabric is Python 2 only. Migration to Python 3 should be made after the first stable release of Fabric 2.
