Install a pre-built release via pip (x86_64 desktop only)

Runtime requirements

Olympe is a Python3 only package and requires Ubuntu 20.04 or higher, Debian 10 or higher.

Note

If you’re running Linux without a graphical desktop environment installed, you also need to install the libgl1 package.

$ sudo apt-get install libgl1

Minimal pip version

Installation of Olympe wheels requires pip version 20.3 or higher. Because pip versions of Ubuntu and Debian latest LTS releases are currently too old, you must use a virtual environment. See the best practices for why and how to install a Python virtual environment.

Note

The rest of this section assumes that you have activated an appropriate virtual environment in your shell.

Install from pypi.org
