Automatic Installation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To install Telethon, simply do:
``pip install telethon``
If you get something like ``"SyntaxError: invalid syntax"`` or any other error while installing, it's probably because ``pip`` defaults to Python 2, which is not supported. Use ``pip3`` instead.
If you already have the library installed, upgrade with:
``pip install --upgrade telethon``.
You can also install the library directly from GitHub or a fork:
.. code-block:: python
# pip 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.
Manual Installation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1. Install the required ``pyaes`` (`GitHub`__ | `PyPi`__) and ``rsa`` (`GitHub`__ | `PyPi`__) modules:
``sudo -H pip 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``
5. Done!
To generate the documentation, ``cd docs`` and then ``python3 generate.py``.
Optional dependencies
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you're using the library under ARM (or even if you aren't),
you may want to install ``sympy`` through ``pip`` for a substantial speed-up
when generating the keys required to connect to Telegram
(you can of course do this on desktop too). See `issue #199`__ for more.
If ``libssl`` is available on your system, it will also be used wherever encryption is needed.
If neither of these are available, a pure Python callback will be used instead,
so you can still run the library wherever Python is available!
