Installing from the Source Code

The source code for the BigchainDB Python Driver can be downloaded from the Github repo. You can either clone the public repository:

git clone git://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb-driver

Or download the tarball:

curl  -OL https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb-driver/tarball/master

Once you have a copy of the source code, you can install it by going to the directory containing setup.py and doing:

python setup.py install

Installing latest master with pip

To work with the latest BigchainDB (server) master branch:

$ pip install --process-dependency-links git+https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb-driver.git

Then connect to some BigchainDB node which is running BigchainDB server master.
