Installing

It is highly recommended to obtain and use one of the official pre-built binaries for PyOxy. These can be obtained from GitHub releases. Go to https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer/releases and scroll until you find the latest release for PyOxy.

System Requirements

The requirements in this section only apply to the official pre-built binaries. Binaries built by others may not have the same requirements.

Linux

The x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu binaries should work on any Linux having glibc 2.18+ and GCC 4.2+ and conform to the Linux Standard Base Core Specification. This should be ~every Linux distribution released since 2014-2015.

Note

Modern versions of Fedora / CentOS / RHEL have a bug and don’t conform to the LSB Core Specification unless you install the libxcrypt-compat package. If you see an error about missing libcrypt.so.1, your distribution is buggy.

macOS

The x86_64-apple-darwin binaries target macOS 10.9+.

The aarch64-apple-darwin binaries target macOS 11.0+.

The binaries should work on a fresh install of macOS.
