BigchainDB has some OS-level dependencies. In particular, you need to install the OS-level dependencies for the Python **cryptography** package. Instructions for installing those dependencies on your OS can be found in the [cryptography package documentation](https://cryptography.io/en/latest/installation/).
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
```
The list of dependencies, and the commands to install them, will be different on other OSes. If you've figured out how to install the dependencies on another OS, please let us know and we'll add those instructions here.
With dependencies installed, you can install BigchainDB with pip or from source.
With OS-level dependencies installed, you can install BigchainDB with `pip` or from source.
