Automatic Installation
**********************
To install Telethon, simply do:
``pip3 install telethon``
Needless to say, you must have Python 3 and PyPi installed in your system.
See https://python.org and https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip for more.
If you already have the library installed, upgrade with:
``pip3 install --upgrade telethon``
You can also install the library directly from GitHub or a fork:
.. code-block:: sh
# pip3 install git+https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon.git
or
$ git clone https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon.git
$ cd Telethon/
# pip install -Ue .
If you don't have root access, simply pass the ``--user`` flag to the pip
command. If you want to install a specific branch, append ``@branch`` to
the end of the first install command.
By default the library will use a pure Python implementation for encryption,
which can be really slow when uploading or downloading files. If you don't
mind using a C extension, install `cryptg <https://github.com/Lonami/cryptg>`__
via ``pip`` or as an extra:
``pip3 install telethon[cryptg]``
Manual Installation
*******************
1. Install the required ``pyaes`` (`GitHub`__ | `PyPi`__) and
``rsa`` (`GitHub`__ | `PyPi`__) modules:
``sudo -H pip3 install pyaes rsa``
2. Clone Telethon's GitHub repository:
``git clone https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon.git``
3. Enter the cloned repository: ``cd Telethon``
4. Run the code generator: ``python3 setup.py gen tl errors``
5. Done!
To generate the `method documentation`__, ``cd docs`` and then
``python3 generate.py`` (if some pages render bad do it twice).
Optional dependencies
*********************
If the `cryptg`__ is installed, you might notice a speed-up in the download
and upload speed, since these are the most cryptographic-heavy part of the
library and said module is a C extension. Otherwise, the ``pyaes`` fallback
will be used.
