Installation
============
Unix-like operating systems
---------------------------
The latest stable version is available to install using `pip <http://www.pip-installer.org/>`_:
.. code-block:: console
# pip install livestreamer
But you can also get the development version using `Git <http://git-scm.com/>`_:
.. code-block:: console
$ git clone git://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer.git
$ cd livestreamer
# python setup.py install
Windows
-------
Livestreamer is primarily developed for Unix-like operating systems where using a CLI is common. There is however an installer available for brave Windows users who don't mind using the command prompt.
The installer can be `downloaded from Github <https://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer/releases>`_. It contains a precompiled version of Livestreamer that does not require you to install any of the dependencies.
Dependencies
------------
Livestreamer currently depends on these libraries/programs to function.
To run the setup script you need:
- `Python <http://python.org/>`_ (at least version 2.6) or `PyPy <http://pypy.org/>`_
- `python-setuptools <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>`_ or `python-distribute <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute>`_
These will be installed automatically by the setup script if they are missing:
- `python-argparse <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/argparse>`_ (only needed on Python version <2.7 and <3.2)
- `python-requests <http://docs.python-requests.org/>`_ (at least version 1.0)
Optional dependencies
---------------------
For RTMP based plugins:
- `RTMPDump <http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/>`_ (Twitch/Justin.tv streams require at least version 2.4)
For decrypting encrypted HLS streams:
- `PyCrypto <https://www.dlitz.net/software/pycrypto/>`_
