 Rattail
=========

See :doc:`/base/install/common` for more background but if you're just after the
filemon service then you probably only need to do this:

.. code-block:: sh

   pip install rattail

See also :ref:`rattail-sanity-check`.

Note that the above does not register the filemon service.  That comes
later; see :doc:`filemon/index`.

You may also need to install additional Rattail packages, e.g. to
integrate with your POS system.  That is outside of our scope for now
though.
