Installation

1. First ensure that you have python3 installed on your machine. If you don’t have python installed, you can get it from python.org, or a package manager (such as apt or yum) on a Linux machine.

2. Choose from one of the options below to install. It is recommended to use PyPI

From PyPI

The easiest way to install this repository is with pip. Simply run the following in a terminal:

python3 -m pip install -U dragonchain-sdk

With asyncio support

For async/await support (python 3.5+ only), be sure to install with the aio extras instead:

python3 -m pip install -U dragonchain-sdk[aio]

For more information on asyncio support, visit the aio section

From Source

You can also install this package from source. To do so, get the source code (via git clone like git clone https://github.com/dragonchain/dragonchain-sdk-python.git or simply downloading/extracting a source tarball from releases), then navigate into the root project directory. Now ensure that you have pip installed and you can install all the requirements for this project with:

python3 -m pip install -U -r requirements.txt

Once these requirements successfully install, run:

./run.sh build
sudo ./run.sh install

On windows, simply replace the above 2 commands with:

python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install

Windows Note:

If running on a Windows computer, you will probably have to replace python3 with python in the commands above, depending on how python3 was installed on your computer.
