Advanced Installation
Stable Release
Get the latest stable release of pyLoad:
pip install pyload-ng


Note:
No stable release yet, pyLoad is now in pre-release phase.

Available modules

pyload.core: pyLoad's heart.
pyload.plugins: the collection of officially supported plugins for pyLoad.
pyload.webui: a web interface to interact with pyLoad.

Development Release
You can force the installation of the latest development release of pyLoad,
appending the option --pre to the installation command:
pip install --pre pyload-ng

Do not use development releases in production. Unexpected crashes may occur.
Extra Dependencies
Extra dependencies are non-essential packages that enable additional features of pyLoad.
To install them you have to append a specific tag name to the installation command.
Available tags

plugins: includes packages used by several plugins.
build: includes packages used to build translations.
all: includes both plugins and build packages.

You can use a tag in this way:
pip install pyload-ng[plugins]

Or group more together:
pip install pyload-ng[plugins][build]

Build Translations
Use the command build_locale to retrieve and build the latest locale files (translations):
python setup.py build_locale

Invoke build_locale before building the package (eg. bdist_wheel).

Note:
You don't need to build the translations if you installed pyLoad through pip, they're already included.

Troubleshooting
pip not found
Retry replacing the command pip with pip3:
pip3 install pyload-ng

If fails again, you may not have the Python interpreter
or the pip package manager installed on your system.
Try reinstalling Python to fix this issue.
Visit https://www.python.org/downloads
to get the proper Python 3 release for your system.
pyload-ng not found
Check the version of the Python interpreters installed on your system.
To show the version of your default Python interpreter, type the command:
python --version

If the version is too old, try to upgrage Python, then you can retry to install pyLoad.
Python releases below version 3.6 are not supported!
Setuptools is too old
To upgrade the setuptools package, type the command:
pip install --upgrade setuptools

Permission denied
Under Unix-based systems, try to install pyLoad with root privileges.
Prefix the installation/uninstallation command with sudo:
sudo pip install pyload-ng
sudo pip uninstall pyload-ng

Under Windows systems, open a Command Prompt as administrator to install pyLoad
with root privileges.
You can also try to install the pyload-ng package without root privileges.
