Installation from source

Note

Most of the piqueserver team uses Linux and we aren’t experienced with Cython on windows. If you can help us improve windows support we’d greatly appreciate it.

Tricky bit for windows is to get Cython working.

  • Install Visual C++ compiler please follow this guide.
  • Don’t forget to upgrade setuptools
  • Install git or download sources from github and unzip
  • If you decided to use git: git clone https://github.com/piqueserver/piqueserver

Tip

If you see errors like “unable to find vcvarsall.bat” refer to this article.

cd piqueserver
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py install
