Installation
============
To install pyOpenSSL::
$ pip install pyopenssl
If you are installing in order to *develop* on pyOpenSSL, move to the root directory of a pyOpenSSL checkout, and run::
$ pip install -e .
.. warning::
As of 0.14, pyOpenSSL is a pure-Python project.
That means that if you encounter *any* kind of compiler errors, pyOpenSSL's bugtracker is the **wrong** place to report them because we *cannot* help you.
Please take the time to read the errors and report them/ask help from the appropriate project.
The most likely culprit being `cryptography <https://cryptography.io/>`_ that contains OpenSSL's library bindings.
Supported OpenSSL Versions
--------------------------
pyOpenSSL supports the same platforms and releases as the upstream cryptography project `does <https://cryptography.io/en/latest/installation/#supported-platforms>`_.
Currently that means:
- 1.0.2
- 1.1.0
- 1.1.1
You can always find out the versions of pyOpenSSL, cryptography, and the linked OpenSSL by running ``python -m OpenSSL.debug``.
