> pip install mio
If you do not have pip, you may use easy_install:
> easy_install mio
Alternatively, you may download the source package from the PyPI Page or the Downloads page on the Project Website; extract it and install using:
> python setup.py install
You can also install the latest-development version by using pip or easy_install:
> pip install mio==dev
or:
> easy_install mio==dev
For further information see the mio documentation.
