You want to try Radicale but only have 5 minutes free in your calendar? Let's go right now! You won't have the best installation ever, but it will be enough to play a little bit with Radicale.
Follow one of the chapters below depending on your operating system.
When Radicale is launched, you can check that everything is OK by opening http://localhost:5232/ in your favourite browser: you'll get a "Radicale works!" message.

Installing Radicale on Linux or *BSD is often really easy.

$ pip3 install radicale
$ python3 -m radicale --debug
...
Radicale server ready
Windows
First of all: please install all the Windows updates available for your version of Windows! (But it's already done, isn't it?)
The next step on Windows is to intall Python. Go to python.org and download the latest version of Python. Run the installer.
On the first window of the installer, check the "Add Python to PATH" box and click on "Install now". Wait a couple of minutes, it's done!
Then launch a command prompt, and type:
C:\Users\MyName> python -m pip install radicale
C:\Users\MyName> python -m radicale --debug
...
