Installation¶
The python-paillier library requires a minimum Python version of at least 3.3.
Note
A big integer math library is used to increase the speed of python-paillier and to access a cryptographic random source. All big integer math has been implemented with GMP - the GNU Multiple Precision arithmetic library. This dependency should be installed for your operating system.
On Ubuntu systems the following packages should be installed:
libmpc-dev libmpfr-dev libmpfr4 libgmp3-dev
Using pip¶
Using pip at the command line, to install the base library from PyPi:
$ pip install phe
To also install the command line utility, introduced at version 1.2:
pip install "phe[cli]>1.2"
Examples have been written which have their own additional requirements such as sklearn. To also install those:
pip install "phe[cli,examples]"
Or, if you have virtualenvwrapper installed:
$ mkvirtualenv phe
$ pip install -e ".[CLI]"
Manual installation¶
To install from the source package, first install any of the (optional)
dependencies (eg pycrypto, gmpy2). A list can be found in
requirements.txt
.
Then install as normal:
$ python setup.py install
Docker¶
A minimal Docker file based on alpine linux:
FROM python:3-alpine
RUN ["apk", "add", "--no-cache", \
"g++", \
"musl-dev", \
"gmp-dev", \
"mpfr-dev", \
"mpc1-dev" \
]
RUN pip install phe
