On Ubuntu 14.04, we found that the following was enough (YMMV):
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ sudo apt-get update
|
||||
$ sudo apt-get install libffi-dev g++ libssl-dev
|
||||
$ sudo apt-get install libffi-dev g++ libssl-dev python3-dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|

With OS-level dependencies installed, you can install BigchainDB with `pip` or from source.

### How to Install BigchainDB with `pip`

BigchainDB is distributed as a Python package on PyPI so you can install it using `pip`. First, make sure you have a version of `pip` installed for Python 3.4+:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ pip -V
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If it says the associated Python version is Python 3.4+, then you can do:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ pip install bigchaindb
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If it says that `pip` isn't installed, or it says `pip` is associated with a Python version less then 3.4, then you must install a `pip` version associated with Python 3.4+. See [the `pip` installation instructions](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/).
|
||||
|
||||
On Ubuntu 14.04, we found that this works:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ sudo apt-get python3-pip
|
||||
$ sudo pip3 install bigchaindb
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
(It might not be necessary to use `sudo` in the last command above, but we found that it _was_ necessary for Ubuntu 14.04 on an Amazon Web Services (AWS) instance.)
|
||||
|
||||
In general, once you have a version of `pip` associated with Python 3.4+, then you can install BigchainDB using `pip install bigchaindb` or `pipVER install bigchaindb` where `pipVER` is replaced by whatever you must use to call a version of `pip` associated with Python 3.4+ (e.g. `pip3`).

||||
### How to Install BigchainDB from Source
|
||||
|
||||
BigchainDB is in its early stages and being actively developed on its [GitHub repository](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb). Contributions are highly appreciated.
