Just run::

or online for the details.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If prerequisites are met, you can install psycopg like any other Python
|
||||||
|
package, using ``pip`` to download it from PyPI_::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ pip install -U pip # make sure your pip is up-to-date
|
|
||||||
$ pip install psycopg2
|
$ pip install psycopg2

If you want to build Psycopg from source you will need some prerequisites (a C
|
or using ``setup.py`` if you have downloaded the source package locally::
|
||||||
compiler, development packages): please check the install_ and the faq_
|
|
||||||
documents in the ``doc`` dir for the details.
|
$ python setup.py build
|
||||||
|
$ sudo python setup.py install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also obtain a stand-alone package, not requiring a compiler or
|
||||||
|
external libraries, by installing the ``psycopg2-binary`` package from PyPI::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ pip install psycopg2-binary
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The binary package is a practical choice for development and testing but in
|
||||||
|
production it is advised to use the package built from sources.

Disabling wheel packages for Psycopg 2.7
|
||||||
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In version 2.7.x, `pip install psycopg2` would have tried to install the wheel
|
||||||
|
binary package of Psycopg. Because of the problems the wheel package have
|
||||||
|
displayed, `psycopg2-binary` has become a separate package, and from 2.8 it
|
||||||
|
has become the only way to install the binary package.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are using psycopg 2.7 and you want to disable the use of wheel binary
|
||||||
|
packages, relying on the system system libraries available on your client, you
|
||||||
|
can use the :command:`pip` |--no-binary option|__:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: console
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ pip install --no-binary psycopg2
|
