# AppImage distributions of Python
|
|
|
|
_Ready to use AppImages of Python are available as GitHub [releases][RELEASES]._
|
|
|
|
## Quickstart
|
|
|
|
Our AppImages provide relocatable Python runtimes. Installation is as simple as
|
|
downloading a single file and changing its mode to executable, e.g. as:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
wget https://github.com/niess/python-appimage/releases/download/python3.8/python3.8.2-cp38-cp38-manylinux1_x86_64.AppImage
|
|
chmod +x python3.8.2-cp38-cp38-manylinux1_x86_64.AppImage
|
|
./python3.8 python3.8.2-cp38-cp38-manylinux1_x86_64.AppImage
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This should run Python 3.8 on _almost_ any Linux provided that `fuse` is
|
|
available. Note that on WSL1 since `fuse` is not supported you will need to
|
|
extract the AppImage as explained hereafter.
|
|
|
|
The installation mode described previously is enough if you only need vanilla
|
|
Python with its standard library. However, if you plan to install extra
|
|
packages we recommmed extracting the AppImage as:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
./python3.8.2-cp38-cp38-manylinux1_x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract
|
|
mv squashfs-root python3.8.2-cp38-cp38-manylinux1_x86_64.AppDir
|
|
ln -s python3.8.2-cp38-cp38-manylinux1_x86_64.AppDir/AppRun python3.8
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, extra packages can be installed to the extracted AppDir using `pip`. E.g.
|
|
updating pip can be done as:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
./python3.8 -m pip install -U pip
|
|
```
