Installing vidyo¶
This section will go through how to install vidyo on your system.
Important
Python 3.7.0 or greater is required.
Creating a virtual environment¶
A virtual environment allows you to contain a project’s dependencies in a way that means no dependencies conflict with other projects. It is recommended that you create a virtual environment when working with vidyo. To do this, run the following commands:
Linux/macOS/UNIX¶
python3 -m venv .venv
source ./.venv/bin/activate
Windows¶
py -3 -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\activate
Installing the lastest stable version¶
You can install the latest version of vidyo by using the following command:
pip install vidyo
Installing other versions¶
To install a specific version (for example, if you want to try the newest development releases), use the following command:
pip install vidyo==0.1.0
# or...
pip install vidyo==0.1.0.dev1
# etc.
Warning
Development versions may be unstable, and thus unsuitable for production environments.
Installing from source¶
You can also install vidyo from source if you want to. Using this method, you can use a specific branch – such as develop
– to install a version different from the latest stable one. You can do this using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/parafoxia/vidyo
cd vidyo
git checkout develop # ...or any branch you want
python3 -m pip install -U .
