Homeserver Installation
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
First, the dependencies need to be installed. Start by installing
|
||||
'python2.7-dev' and the various tools of the compiler toolchain.
|
||||
Synapse is written in python but some of the libraries is uses are written in
|
||||
C. So before we can install synapse itself we need a working C compiler and the
|
||||
header files for python C extensions.

Synapse uses NaCl (http://nacl.cr.yp.to/) for encryption and digital
|
||||
signatures. Unfortunately PyNACL currently has a few issues
|
||||
(https://github.com/pyca/pynacl/issues/53) and
|
||||
(https://github.com/pyca/pynacl/issues/79) that mean it may not install
|
||||
correctly. To fix try re-installing from PyPI or directly from (https://github.com/pyca/pynacl)::
|
||||
|
||||
$ # Install from PyPI
|
||||
$ pip install --user --upgrade --force pynacl
|
||||
$ # Install from github
|
||||
$ pip install --user https://github.com/pyca/pynacl/tarball/master
|
||||
|
||||
On OSX, if you encounter ``clang: error: unknown argument: '-mno-fused-madd'``
|
||||
you will need to ``export CFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments``.
|
||||
|
||||
To install the synapse homeserver run::
|
||||
|
||||
$ pip install --user --process-dependency-links https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tarball/master
|
||||
|
||||
This installs synapse, along with the libraries it uses, into
|
||||
``$HOME/.local/lib/``.
|
||||
|
||||
Homeserver Development
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
The homeserver has a number of external dependencies, that are easiest
|
||||
to install by making setup.py do so, in --user mode::
|
||||
|
||||
$ python setup.py develop --user
|
||||
|
||||
You'll need a version of setuptools new enough to know about git, so you
|
||||
may need to also run::
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
|
||||
$ sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't have access to github, then you may need to install ``syutil``
|
||||
manually by checking it out and running ``python setup.py develop --user`` on
|
||||
it too.
|
||||
|
||||
If you get errors about ``sodium.h`` being missing, you may also need to
|
||||
manually install a newer PyNaCl via pip as setuptools installs an old one. Or
|
||||
you can check PyNaCl out of git directly (https://github.com/pyca/pynacl) and
|
||||
installing it. Installing PyNaCl using pip may also work (remember to remove
|
||||
any other versions installed by setuputils in, for example, ~/.local/lib).
|
||||
|
||||
On OSX, if you encounter ``clang: error: unknown argument: '-mno-fused-madd'``
|
||||
you will need to ``export CFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments``.
|
||||
|
||||
This will run a process of downloading and installing into your
|
||||
user's .local/lib directory all of the required dependencies that are
|
||||
missing.
