Source code
-----------

If a package is not available for your platform (or it's out of date) you
can install Streamlink via source.

There are a few different methods to do this,
`pip <http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing.html>`_ the Python package
manager, or by checking out the latest code with
`Git <http://git-scm.com/downloads>`_. Using :command:`easy_install` is no longer recommended.

.. note::

    For some Linux distributions the Python headers package needs to be installed before installing streamlink
    (``python-devel`` in RedHat, Fedora, etc.).

    Ensure that you are using an up-to-date version of :command:`pip`, at least version **6** is recommended.


The commands listed here will also upgrade any existing version of Streamlink.

Using pycrypto and pycountry
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

With these two environment variables it is possible to use `pycrypto`_ instead of
`pycryptodome`_ and `pycountry`_ instead of `iso-639`_ and `iso3166`_.

.. code-block:: console

    $ export STREAMLINK_USE_PYCRYPTO="true"
    $ export STREAMLINK_USE_PYCOUNTRY="true"

Installing without root permissions
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you do not wish to install Streamlink globally on your system it's
recommended to use `virtualenv`_ to create a user owned Python environment
instead.

.. code-block:: console

    Creating an environment
    $ virtualenv ~/myenv

    Activating the environment
    $ source ~/myenv/bin/activate

    Installing streamlink into the environment
    (myenv)$ pip install streamlink

    Using streamlink in the environment
    (myenv)$ streamlink ...

    Deactivating the environment
    (myenv)$ deactivate

    Using streamlink without activating the environment
    $ ~/myenv/bin/streamlink ...

.. note::

    This may also be required on some OS X versions that seems to have weird
    permission issues.


.. _virtualenv: https://virtualenv.readthedocs.io/en/latest/


Windows binaries
----------------

.. important::

    Windows XP is not supported. |br|
    Windows Vista requires at least SP2 to be installed.

Release                              Notes
==================================== ====================================
`Stable release`_                    Download the installer from the `GitHub releases page`_.

`Development build`_                 For testing purposes only! Updated once per day. |br|
                                     Download the installer from `Bintray`_. |br|
                                     See the `list of recent changes`_ since the last stable release.
==================================== ====================================

.. _Stable release:
.. _GitHub releases page: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/releases/latest
.. _Development build:
.. _Bintray: https://bintray.com/streamlink/streamlink-nightly/streamlink/_latestVersion/#files
.. _list of recent changes: https://bintray.com/streamlink/streamlink-nightly/streamlink/_latestVersion/#release

These installers contain:

- A compiled version of Streamlink that **does not require an existing Python
  installation**
- `RTMPDump`_ for viewing RTMP streams
- `ffmpeg`_ for muxing streams

and perform the following tasks:

- Add Streamlink to the system's list of installed applications. |br|
  An uninstaller will automatically be created during installation.
- Add Streamlink's installation directory to the system's ``PATH`` environment variable. |br|
  This allows the user to run the ``streamlink`` command globally
  from the command prompt or powershell without specifying its directory.

To build the installer on your own, ``NSIS`` and ``pynsist`` need to be installed.
