Installing Supysonic¶
Supysonic is written in Python and supports Python 3.7 and later.
Linux¶
Currently, only Debian-based distributions might provide Supysonic in their
package repositories. Install the package supysonic
using apt:
$ apt install supysonic
This will install Supysonic along with the minimal dependencies it needs to run.
If you plan on using it with a MySQL or PostgreSQL database you also need the
corresponding Python package, python3-pymysql
for MySQL or
python3-psycopg2
for PostgreSQL.
$ apt install python3-pymysql
$ apt install python3-psycopg2
For other distributions, you might consider installing with pip or from Docker images.
Windows¶
Note
While Supysonic hasn’t been thoroughly tested on Windows, it should work. If something is broken, we’re really sorry. Don’t hesitate to open an issue on GitHub.
Most Windows users do not have Python installed by default, so we begin with the installation of Python itself. To check if you already have Python installed, open the Command Prompt (Win-R and type cmd). Once the command prompt is open, type python --version and press Enter. If Python is installed, you will see the version of Python printed to the screen. If you do not have Python installed, head over to the Python website and install one of the compatible Python versions. You need at least Python 3.7.
Once Python is installed, you can install Supysonic using pip. Refer to the installation instructions below for more information.
pip¶
Simply install the package supysonic
with pip:
$ pip install supysonic
This will install Supysonic along with the minimal dependencies it needs, but
those don’t include the requirements for the web server. For this you’ll need
to install either gevent
, gunicorn
or waitress
.
$ pip install gevent
$ pip install gunicorn
$ pip install waitress
If you plan on using it with a MySQL or PostgreSQL database you also need the
corresponding package, pymysql
for MySQL or psycopg2-binary
for
PostgreSQL.
$ pip install pymysql
$ pip install psycopg2-binary
