Consult the documentation of your OS package manager for installation instructions.
From source
===========
The latest stable version of *python-evdev* can be installed from pypi_,
provided that you have gcc/clang, pip_ and the Python and Linux development
headers installed on your system. Installing them is distribution specific and
typically falls in one of the following categories:
On a Debian compatible OS:
.. code-block:: bash
$ apt-get install python-dev python-pip gcc
$ apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
On a Redhat compatible OS:
.. code-block:: bash
$ yum install python-devel python-pip gcc
$ yum install kernel-headers-$(uname -r)
On Arch Linux and derivatives:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pacman -S core/linux-api-headers python-pip gcc
Once all dependencies are available, you may install *python-evdev* using pip_:
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo pip install evdev # available globally
$ pip install --user evdev # available to the current user
Specifying header locations
===========================
By default, the setup script will look for the ``input.h`` and
``input-event-codes.h`` [#f1]_ header files ``/usr/include/linux``.
You may use the ``--evdev-headers`` option to the ``build_ext`` setuptools
command to specify the location of these header files. It accepts one or more
colon-separated paths. For example:
.. code-block:: bash
$ python setup.py build_ext \
--evdev-headers buildroot/input.h:buildroot/input-event-codes.h \
--include-dirs buildroot/ \
install # or any other command (e.g. develop, bdist, bdist_wheel)
.. [#f1] ``input-event-codes.h`` is found only in more recent kernel versions.
