Installation
============
While there are several ways of install RapidFuzz, the recommended methods
are either by using ``pip`` (the Python package manager) or
``conda`` (an open-source, cross-platform, package manager)
using pip
---------
RapidFuzz can be installed with ``pip``:
.. code-block:: sh
pip install rapidfuzz
There are pre-built binaries (wheels) of RapidFuzz for MacOS (10.9 and later), Linux x86_64 and Windows.
.. raw:: html
<div class="admonition error">
<p class="admonition-title">failure "ImportError: DLL load failed"</p>
<p>
If you run into this error on Windows the reason is most likely, that the
<a class="reference external" href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads">Visual C++ 2019 redistributable</a> is not installed, which is required to
find C++ Libraries (The C++ 2019 version includes the 2015, 2017 and 2019 version).</p>
</div>
using conda
-----------
RapidFuzz can be installed with ``conda``:
.. code-block:: sh
conda install -c conda-forge rapidfuzz
from git
--------
RapidFuzz can be directly used from GitHub by cloning the
repository. This requires a C++17 capable compiler.
.. code-block:: sh
git clone --recursive https://github.com/rapidfuzz/rapidfuzz.git
cd rapidfuzz
pip install .
