- .. _installing:
- Installing the library
- ######################
- There are several ways to get the pybind11 source, which lives at
- `pybind/pybind11 on GitHub <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11>`_. The pybind11
- developers recommend one of the first three ways listed here, submodule, PyPI,
- or conda-forge, for obtaining pybind11.
- .. _include_as_a_submodule:
- Include as a submodule
- ======================
- When you are working on a project in Git, you can use the pybind11 repository
- as a submodule. From your git repository, use:
- .. code-block:: bash
- git submodule add -b stable ../../pybind/pybind11 extern/pybind11
- git submodule update --init
- This assumes you are placing your dependencies in ``extern/``, and that you are
- using GitHub; if you are not using GitHub, use the full https or ssh URL
- instead of the relative URL ``../../pybind/pybind11`` above. Some other servers
- also require the ``.git`` extension (GitHub does not).
- From here, you can now include ``extern/pybind11/include``, or you can use
- the various integration tools (see :ref:`compiling`) pybind11 provides directly
- from the local folder.
- Include with PyPI
- =================
- You can download the sources and CMake files as a Python package from PyPI
- using Pip. Just use:
- .. code-block:: bash
- pip install pybind11
- This will provide pybind11 in a standard Python package format. If you want
- pybind11 available directly in your environment root, you can use:
- .. code-block:: bash
- pip install "pybind11[global]"
- This is not recommended if you are installing with your system Python, as it
- will add files to ``/usr/local/include/pybind11`` and
- ``/usr/local/share/cmake/pybind11``, so unless that is what you want, it is
- recommended only for use in virtual environments or your ``pyproject.toml``
- file (see :ref:`compiling`).
- Include with conda-forge
- ========================
- You can use pybind11 with conda packaging via `conda-forge
- <https://github.com/conda-forge/pybind11-feedstock>`_:
- .. code-block:: bash
- conda install -c conda-forge pybind11
- Include with vcpkg
- ==================
- You can download and install pybind11 using the Microsoft `vcpkg
- <https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/>`_ dependency manager:
- .. code-block:: bash
- git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
- cd vcpkg
- ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
- ./vcpkg integrate install
- vcpkg install pybind11
- The pybind11 port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and
- community contributors. If the version is out of date, please `create an issue
- or pull request <https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/>`_ on the vcpkg
- repository.
- Global install with brew
- ========================
- The brew package manager (Homebrew on macOS, or Linuxbrew on Linux) has a
- `pybind11 package
- <https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/pybind11.rb>`_.
- To install:
- .. code-block:: bash
- brew install pybind11
- .. We should list Conan, and possibly a few other C++ package managers (hunter,
- .. perhaps). Conan has a very clean CMake integration that would be good to show.
- Other options
- =============
- Other locations you can find pybind11 are `listed here
- <https://repology.org/project/python:pybind11/versions>`_; these are maintained
- by various packagers and the community.
