Installation¶

Installing cryptoassets.core package

Installing cryptoassets.core package ¶

Requirements ¶

You need at least Python version 3.4.

Ubuntu 14.04 comes with Python 3.4. Install Python 3.4 on older versions of Ubuntu
Install Python 3.4 on OSX
Microsoft Windows is unsupported at the moment as the authors do not have access to Microsoft Windows development tools

cryptoassets.core is distributed as a Python package. To use packages in your application, follow the Python community best practices and create a virtualenv where you to install the third party packages and their dependencies.

OSX ¶

For Homebrew with Python 3.4 installed:

mkdir myproject
cd myproject
virtualenv python3.4 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Ubuntu / Debian ¶

First get a virtualenv which is not old and horribly broken, like the one in the system default installation:

sudo pip install -U virtualenv

This creates /usr/local/bin/virtualenv. Then:

mkdir myproject
cd myproject
virtualenv -p python3.4 venv
source venv/bin/activate

Note

Ubuntu and Debian have an open issue regarding Python 3.4 virtualenv support. Thus, check the link below for how to workaround installation issues if you are using a non-conforming distribution.

Installing cryptoassets package ¶

Installing the release version ¶

After virtualenv is created and active you can run:

# Install the known good versions of dependencies
curl -o requirements.txt "https://bitbucket.org/miohtama/cryptoassets/raw/9bfbe5e16fd878cbb8231f06d8825e1e1af94495/requirements.txt" && pip install -r requirements.txt

# Install the latest release version of cryptoassets.core package
pip install cryptoassets.core

This will use the latest package pindowns of known good version set.

Installing the development version ¶

You can install git checkout if you want to develop / bug fix cryptoassets.core itself.

First install dependencies.

Checkout and install from Bitbucket:

git clone https://miohtama@bitbucket.org/miohtama/cryptoassets.git
cd cryptoassets
python setup.py develop
