Quickstart

If you want to quickly have a server running up so to publish, install and explore packages, you found the right place! This page will guide you in the very first steps of installing and configuring a pryv server.

pryv is available on https://pypi.org. Use the following command to install it:

pip install pryv

Note

If you want to use pryv with its integrations to Amazon Web Services, you should install it using the aws extra option:

pip install pryv[aws]

You can as well install pryv in a virtualenv, however it is not recommended for production environment.

Now that pryv is installed on your machine, you can start it by using:

pryv start

The api and the explorer are then available. Open your browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:5555. You should land on pryv’s setup interface, that looks like this:
