There are several ways to get the pybind11 source, which lives at
|
|
`pybind/pybind11 on GitHub <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11>`_. The pybind11
|
|
developers recommend one of the first three ways listed here, submodule, PyPI,
|
|
or conda-forge, for obtaining pybind11.
|
|
|
|
.. _include_as_a_submodule:

|
Include as a submodule
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
When you are working on a project in Git, you can use the pybind11 repository
|
|
as a submodule. From your git repository, use:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
git submodule add -b stable ../../pybind/pybind11 extern/pybind11
|
|
git submodule update --init
|
|
|
|
This assumes you are placing your dependencies in ``extern/``, and that you are
|
|
using GitHub; if you are not using GitHub, use the full https or ssh URL
|
|
instead of the relative URL ``../../pybind/pybind11`` above. Some other servers
|
|
also require the ``.git`` extension (GitHub does not).
|
|
|
|
From here, you can now include ``extern/pybind11/include``, or you can use
|
|
the various integration tools (see :ref:`compiling`) pybind11 provides directly
|
|
from the local folder.
|
|
|
|
Include with PyPI
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
You can download the sources and CMake files as a Python package from PyPI
|
|
using Pip. Just use:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
pip install pybind11
|
|
|
|
This will provide pybind11 in a standard Python package format. If you want
|
|
pybind11 available directly in your environment root, you can use:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
pip install "pybind11[global]"
|
|
|
|
This is not recommended if you are installing with your system Python, as it
|
|
will add files to ``/usr/local/include/pybind11`` and
|
|
``/usr/local/share/cmake/pybind11``, so unless that is what you want, it is
|
|
recommended only for use in virtual environments or your ``pyproject.toml``
|
|
file (see :ref:`compiling`).
|
|
|
|
Include with conda-forge
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
You can use pybind11 with conda packaging via `conda-forge
|
|
<https://github.com/conda-forge/pybind11-feedstock>`_:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
conda install -c conda-forge pybind11
|
|
|
|
|
|
Include with vcpkg
|
|
==================
|
|
You can download and install pybind11 using the Microsoft `vcpkg
|
|
<https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/>`_ dependency manager:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
|
|
cd vcpkg
|
|
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
|
|
./vcpkg integrate install
|
|
vcpkg install pybind11
|
|
|
|
The pybind11 port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and
|
|
community contributors. If the version is out of date, please `create an issue
|
|
or pull request <https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/>`_ on the vcpkg
|
|
repository.
|
|
|
|
Global install with brew
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
The brew package manager (Homebrew on macOS, or Linuxbrew on Linux) has a
|
|
`pybind11 package
|
|
<https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/pybind11.rb>`_.
|
|
To install:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
brew install pybind11
|
|
|
|
.. We should list Conan, and possibly a few other C++ package managers (hunter,
|
|
.. perhaps). Conan has a very clean CMake integration that would be good to show.
|
|
|
|
Other options
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Other locations you can find pybind11 are `listed here
|
|
<https://repology.org/project/python:pybind11/versions>`_; these are maintained
|
|
by various packagers and the community.
