<p>Packaging is not done by the Streamlink maintainers themselves except for
the <a class="reference internal" href="#pypi-package-and-source-code">PyPI package</a>,
the <a class="reference internal" href="#windows-binaries">Windows installers + portable builds</a>,
and the <a class="reference internal" href="#linux-appimages">Linux AppImages</a>.</p>
<p>If a packaged release of Streamlink is not available for your operating system / distro or your system's architecture,
or if it's out of date or broken, then please contact the respective package maintainers or package-repository maintainers
of your operating system / distro, as it's up to them to add, update, or fix those packages.</p>
<p>Users of glibc-based Linux distros can find up-to-date Streamlink releases via the available <a class="reference internal" href="#linux-appimages">AppImages</a>.</p>
<p>Please open an issue or pull request on GitHub if an <strong>available</strong>, <strong>maintained</strong> and <strong>up-to-date</strong> package is missing
from the install docs.</p>

<p>If a package is not available on your platform, or if it's out of date,
then Streamlink can be installed via <a class="reference external" href="https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/">pip</a>, the Python package manager.</p>
<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="admonition-title">Warning</p>
<p>On Linux, when not using a <a class="reference internal" href="#virtual-environment">virtual environment</a>, it is recommended to <strong>install custom python packages like this
only for the current user</strong> using the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--user</span></code> parameter, since system-wide packages can cause conflicts with
the system's regular package manager. Never install Python packages via sudo in your system's global Python environment.</p>
<p>User-packages will be installed into <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">~/.local</span></code> instead of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/usr</span></code>, and entry-scripts for
running the programs can be found in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">~/.local/bin</span></code>, e.g. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">~/.local/bin/streamlink</span></code>.</p>
<p>In order for the command line shell to be able to find these executables, the user's <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PATH</span></code> environment variable
needs to be extended. This can be done by adding <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">export</span> <span class="pre">PATH="${HOME}/.local/bin:${PATH}"</span></code>
to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">~/.profile</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">~/.bashrc</span></code>.</p>

<h2>Virtual environment<a class="headerlink" href="#virtual-environment" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>A better way of installing Streamlink as a non-system Python package is using the <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html">venv</a> or <a class="reference external" href="https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/">virtualenv</a> Python modules,
which both create a user-owned Python environment which is isolated from the system's main Python environment.</p>
<p>While <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html">venv</a> is part of Python's standard library since <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">3.3</span></code>, <a class="reference external" href="https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/">virtualenv</a> is the project which <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html">venv</a> originated from,
but it first needs to be installed, either via <a class="reference external" href="https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/">pip</a> or from the system's package manager. It also implements more features,
so depending on your needs, you may want to use <a class="reference external" href="https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/">virtualenv</a> instead of <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html">venv</a>.</p>

<h2>Source distribution<a class="headerlink" href="#source-distribution" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>In addition to the pre-built wheels uploaded to PyPI, Streamlink's source distribution tarballs get uploaded
to both PyPI and GitHub releases. These tarballs are meant for packagers and are signed using the following PGP key:</p>
<p><a class="sd-sphinx-override sd-badge sd-outline-primary sd-text-primary reference external" href="https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?search=44448A298D5C3618&fingerprint=on&op=index"><span>44448A298D5C3618</span></a></p>
<p>Please be aware that PyPI has dropped support for uploading new release file signatures in May 2023, so those can only be found
on <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/releases">GitHub releases</a> now.</p>
<p>See the <a class="reference internal" href="#dependencies">Dependencies</a> section down below for the required build- and runtime-requirements.</p>
<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="admonition-title">Warning</p>
<p>Please avoid building Streamlink from tarballs generated by GitHub from (tagged) git commits,
as they are lacking the built-in release version string. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">versioningit</span></code> build-requirement also won't be able
to find the correct version, as the content is not part of a git repository.</p>
<p>Instead, build from Streamlink's signed source-distribution tarballs which are uploaded to PyPI and GitHub releases,
or from the cloned git repository.</p>
