Install Python package from PyPI#

Introduction#

Kotori can be installed in different variants.

Setting up Kotori as Python package is suitable for installing on platforms where there is no native distribution package available yet.

We recommend to either use the pip install --user option in order not to clutter your distribution Python or use a virtualenv. In this manner, your installation will not require root permissions and the Python libraries of your system distribution will stay completely untouched.

When aiming to work on the source code of Kotori, we recommend to read the documentation about how to Setup development sandbox.

Installation on CPython#

Prerequisites#

Installing Kotori using a Python package might need development tools properly installed:
