Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Telethon is a Python library, which means you need to download and install
|
|
Python from https://www.python.org/downloads/ if you haven't already. Once
|
|
you have Python installed, `upgrade pip`__ and run:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
|
|
python3 -m pip install --upgrade telethon
|
|
|
|
…to install or upgrade the library to the latest version.

Installing Development Versions
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
If you want the *latest* unreleased changes,
|
|
you can run the following command instead:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
python3 -m pip install --upgrade https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon/archive/master.zip
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The development version may have bugs and is not recommended for production
|
|
use. However, when you are `reporting a library bug`__, you should try if the
|
|
bug still occurs in this version.
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Verification
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
To verify that the library is installed correctly, run the following command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
python3 -c "import telethon; print(telethon.__version__)"
|
|
|
|
The version number of the library should show in the output.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Optional Dependencies
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
If cryptg_ is installed, **the library will work a lot faster**, since
|
|
encryption and decryption will be made in C instead of Python. If your
|
|
code deals with a lot of updates or you are downloading/uploading a lot
|
|
of files, you will notice a considerable speed-up (from a hundred kilobytes
|
|
per second to several megabytes per second, if your connection allows it).
|
|
If it's not installed, pyaes_ will be used (which is pure Python, so it's
|
|
much slower).
|
|
|
|
If pillow_ is installed, large images will be automatically resized when
|
|
sending photos to prevent Telegram from failing with "invalid image".
|
|
Official clients also do this.
|
|
|
|
If aiohttp_ is installed, the library will be able to download
|
|
:tl:`WebDocument` media files (otherwise you will get an error).
|
|
|
|
If hachoir_ is installed, it will be used to extract metadata from files
|
|
when sending documents. Telegram uses this information to show the song's
|
|
performer, artist, title, duration, and for videos too (including size).
|
|
Otherwise, they will default to empty values, and you can set the attributes
|
|
manually.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Some of the modules may require additional dependencies before being
|
|
installed through ``pip``. If you have an ``apt``-based system, consider
|
|
installing the most commonly missing dependencies (with the right ``pip``):
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
apt update
|
|
apt install clang lib{jpeg-turbo,webp}-dev python{,-dev} zlib-dev
|
|
pip install -U --user setuptools
|
|
pip install -U --user telethon cryptg pillow
|
|
