Installation¶
Note
Wheels are provided for Windows, Linux and OSX x86-64 platforms, as well as
Linux and OSX Aarch64 platforms. Other machines will have to build the wheel
from the source distribution. Building pyjess
involves compiling the
Jess code, which requires a C compiler to be available.
PyPi¶
pyjess
is hosted on GitHub, but the easiest way to install it is to download
the latest release from its PyPi repository.
It will install all dependencies then install pyjess
either from a wheel if
one is available, or from source after compiling the Rust code :
$ pip install --user pyjess
Arch User Repository¶
A package recipe for Arch Linux can be found in the Arch User Repository under the name python-pyjess. It will always match the latest release from PyPI.
Steps to install on ArchLinux depend on your AUR helper
(yaourt
, aura
, yay
, etc.). For aura
, you’ll need to run:
$ aura -A python-pyjess
Piwheels¶
pyjess
works on Raspberry Pi computers, and pre-built wheels are compiled
for armv7l
platforms on piwheels. Run the following command to install these
instead of compiling from source:
$ pip3 install pyjess --extra-index-url https://www.piwheels.org/simple
Check the piwheels documentation for more information.
GitHub + pip
¶
If, for any reason, you prefer to download the library from GitHub, you can clone the repository and install the repository by running (with the admin rights):
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/althonos/pyjess
$ pip install --user ./pyjess
Caution
Keep in mind this will install always try to install the latest commit, which may not even build, so consider using a versioned release instead.
GitHub + setuptools
¶
If you do not want to use pip
, you can still clone the repository and
run the setup.py
file manually, although you will need to install the
build dependencies (mainly Cython):
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/althonos/pyjess
$ cd pyjess
$ python setup.py build_ext
# python setup.py install
Danger
Installing packages without pip
is strongly discouraged, as they can
only be uninstalled manually, and may damage your system.
