The recommended way to install nose2 is with pip
pip install nose2
You can also install from source by downloading the source distribution from pypi, un-taring it, and running python setup.py install in the source directory. Note that if you install this way, and do not have distribute or setuptools installed, you must install nose2’s dependencies manually.
To run tests in a project, use the nose2 script that is installed with nose2:
nose2
This will find and run tests in all packages in the current working directory, and any sub-directories of the current working directory whose names start with ‘test’.
To find tests, nose2 looks for modules whose names start with ‘test’. In those modules, nose2 will load tests from all unittest.TestCase subclasses, as well as functions whose names start with ‘test’.
The nose2 script supports a number of command-line options, as well as extensive configuration via config files. For more information see Using nose2 and Configuring nose2.
