Example:

git clone git:https://github.com/urschrei/pyzotero.git
cd pyzotero
git checkout dev
pip install .

• Alternatively, download the latest version from https://github.com/urschrei/pyzotero/downloads, and point pip at the zip file:
  Example: pip install ~/Downloads/urschrei-pyzotero-v0.3-0-g04ff544.zip
