Installation Reference
======================
.. _base-requirements:
Linux/Mac Software Dependencies
---------------------------------
* ``nucypher`` supports Python 3.7 and 3.8. If you dont already have it, install `Python <https://www.python.org/downloads/>`_.
* Before installing ``nucypher``, you may need to install necessary developer tools and headers:
.. code::
- libffi-dev
- python3-dev
- python3-pip
- python3-virtualenv
- build-essential
- libssl-dev
Pip Installation and Update
----------------------------
In order to isolate global system dependencies from nucypher-specific dependencies, we *highly* recommend
using ``python-virtualenv`` to install ``nucypher`` inside a dedicated virtual environment.
For full documentation on virtualenv see: https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/:
#. Create a Virtual Environment
.. code-block:: bash
$ python -m venv /your/path/nucypher-venv
...
Activate the newly created virtual environment:
.. code-block:: bash
$ source /your/path/nucypher-venv/bin/activate
...
$(nucypher-venv)
.. note::
Successful virtualenv activation is indicated by ``(nucypher-venv)$`` prepended to your console's prompt
#. Install/Update Application Code with Pip
.. code-block:: bash
(nucypher-venv) pip3 install -U nucypher
#. Verify Installation
Before continuing, verify that your ``nucypher`` installation and entry points are functional.
Activate your virtual environment:
.. code-block:: bash
user@ubuntu$ source /your/path/nucypher-venv/bin/activate
Next, verify ``nucypher`` is importable. No response is successful, silence is golden:
.. code-block:: python
python -c "import nucypher"
Then, run the ``nucypher --help`` command:
.. code-block:: bash
(nucypher) user@ubuntu$ nucypher --help
...
If successful you will see a list of possible usage options (\ ``--version``\ , ``-v``\ , ``--dev``\ , etc.) and
commands (\ ``status``\ , ``ursula``\ , etc.). For example, you can use ``nucypher ursula init`` to initialize a new worker node.
