Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
|
|
Python Version
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
We recommend using the latest version of Python. Werkzeug supports
|
|
Python 3.8 and newer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Optional dependencies
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
These distributions will not be installed automatically. Werkzeug will
|
|
detect and use them if you install them.
|
|
|
|
* `Colorama`_ provides request log highlighting when using the
|
|
development server on Windows. This works automatically on other
|
|
systems.
|
|
* `Watchdog`_ provides a faster, more efficient reloader for the
|
|
development server.
|
|
|
|
.. _Colorama: https://pypi.org/project/colorama/
|

.. _Watchdog: https://pypi.org/project/watchdog/

|
greenlet
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
You may choose to use gevent or eventlet with your application. In this
|
|
case, greenlet>=1.0 is required. When using PyPy, PyPy>=7.3.7 is
|
|
required.
|
|
|
|
These are not minimum supported versions, they only indicate the first
|
|
versions that added necessary features. You should use the latest
|
|
versions of each.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Virtual environments
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Use a virtual environment to manage the dependencies for your project,
|
|
both in development and in production.
|
|
|
|
What problem does a virtual environment solve? The more Python
|
|
projects you have, the more likely it is that you need to work with
|
|
different versions of Python libraries, or even Python itself. Newer
|
|
versions of libraries for one project can break compatibility in
|
|
another project.
|
|
|
|
Virtual environments are independent groups of Python libraries, one for
|
|
each project. Packages installed for one project will not affect other
|
|
projects or the operating system's packages.
|
|
|
|
Python comes bundled with the :mod:`venv` module to create virtual
|
|
environments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create an environment
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Create a project folder and a :file:`venv` folder within:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
mkdir myproject
|
|
cd myproject
|
|
python3 -m venv venv
|
|
|
|
On Windows:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bat
|
|
|
|
py -3 -m venv venv
|
|
|
|
|
|
Activate the environment
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Before you work on your project, activate the corresponding environment:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
. venv/bin/activate
|
|
|
|
On Windows:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bat
|
|
|
|
venv\Scripts\activate
|
|
|
|
Your shell prompt will change to show the name of the activated
|
|
environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install Werkzeug
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Within the activated environment, use the following command to install
|
|
Werkzeug:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
pip install Werkzeug
|
