Installation
============
Pip
---
The pip installation will using the binary versions of the package (if possible). These contain a bundled version of capnproto (on Linux compiled with `manylinux <https://github.com/pypa/manylinux>`_). Starting from v1.0.0b1 binary releases are available for Windows, macOS and Linux from `pypi <https://pypi.org/project/pycapnp/#history>`_::
[sudo] pip install pycapnp
To force rebuilding the pip package from source (you'll need requirments.txt or pipenv)::
pip install --no-binary :all: pycapnp
To force bundling libcapnp (or force system libcapnp), just in case setup.py isn't doing the right thing::
pip install --no-binary :all: --install-option "--force-bundled-libcapnp"
pip install --no-binary :all: --install-option "--force-system-libcapnp"
If you're using an older Linux distro (e.g. CentOS 6) you many need to set `LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-as-needed -lrt"`::
LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-as-needed -lrt" pip install --no-binary :all: pycapnp
It's also possible to specify the libcapnp url when bundling (this may not work, there be dragons)::
pip install --no-binary :all: --install-option "--force-bundled-libcapnp" --install-option "--libcapnp-url" --install-option "https://github.com/capnproto/capnproto/archive/master.tar.gz"
From Source
-----------
Source installation is generally not needed unless you're looking into an issue with capnproto or pycapnp itself.
C++ Cap'n Proto Library
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You need to install the C++ Cap'n Proto library first. It requires a C++ compiler with C++14 support, such as GCC 5+ or Clang 5+. Follow installation docs at `https://capnproto.org/install.html <https://capnproto.org/install.html>`_.
pycapnp from git
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want the latest development version, you can clone the github repo::
git clone https://github.com/capnproto/pycapnp.git
For development packages use one of the following to install the python dependencies::
pipenv install
pip install -r requirements.txt
And install pycapnp with::
cd pycapnp
pip install .
or::
cd pycapnp
python setup.py install
Development
-----------
Clone the repo from https://github.com/capnproto/pycapnp.git::
git clone https://github.com/capnproto/pycapnp.git
For development packages use one of the following to install the python dependencies::
pipenv install
pip install -r requirements.txt
Building::
cd pycapnp
pip install .
or::
cd pycapnp
python setup.py install
Useful targets for setup.py::
python setup.py build
python setup.py clean
Useful command-line arguments are available for setup.py::

Testing is done through pytest::
cd pycapnp
pytest
pytest test/test_rpc_calculator.py
