Installation Guide & Troubleshooting

PyTower currently has the following dependencies: cargo, git, and pip.

Within Python, PyTower has a few dependencies that are automatically installed (such as requests, numpy, and scipy)

Dependencies

Python 3.10+

(Included in /lib): tower-unite-suitebro by brecert

(Automatically installed by pip): numpy, scipy, requests, colorama, and any other Python packages in requirements.txt

Quick Installation

Download the install-pytower.py script from latest release
Run the installer script from command line using Python. For example, python install-pytower-v0.2.0.py.

Note

Alternatively, (on Windows) you can drag the install script onto python.exe or otherwise open the install script with python.exe

Recommended Installation Instructions

(On Windows) Install Git Bash: https://git-scm.com/download/win.
Clone the repository using git clone https://github.com/rainbowphysics/PyTower.git.

Note

If typing git into the command line does nothing, you may have to add git manually to your PATH environment variable.

Run install.bat (on Windows) or install.sh (on Linux).

Note

Alternatively, directly run pip install -e .. (-e flag must be included, install will break without it!)

Installing From Source

If for some reason you want to build the suitebro parser from source (as opposed to using the lib), you can use the flag --install-option="--src".

$ pip install -e . --install-option="--src"

Note that this requires the latest version of Rust be installed, along with Build Tools for Visual Studio (2017) and Git Bash on Windows.

Once you’ve done this, you also have to configure PyTower to use suitebro parser source with:

$ pytower config set from_source true
