Local installation from PyPi
----------------------------
Please note that the sites database in the PyPI package may be outdated.
If you encounter frequent false positive results, we recommend installing the latest development version from GitHub instead.
.. note::
Python 3.10 or higher and pip is required, **Python 3.11 is recommended.**
.. code-block:: bash
# install from pypi
pip3 install maigret
# usage
maigret username
Development version (GitHub)
----------------------------
.. code-block:: bash
git clone https://github.com/soxoj/maigret && cd maigret
pip3 install .
# OR
pip3 install git+https://github.com/soxoj/maigret.git
# usage
maigret username
# OR use poetry in case you plan to develop Maigret
pip3 install poetry
poetry run maigret
Docker
------
.. code-block:: bash
# official image of the development version, updated from the github repo
docker pull soxoj/maigret
# usage
docker run -v /mydir:/app/reports soxoj/maigret:latest username --html
# manual build
docker build -t maigret .
Troubleshooting
---------------
If you encounter build errors during installation such as ``cannot find ft2build.h``
or errors related to ``reportlab`` / ``_renderPM``, you need to install system-level
dependencies required to compile native extensions.
**Debian/Ubuntu/Kali:**
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt install -y libfreetype6-dev libjpeg-dev libffi-dev
**Fedora/RHEL/CentOS:**
.. code-block:: bash
sudo dnf install -y freetype-devel libjpeg-devel libffi-devel
**Arch Linux:**
.. code-block:: bash
sudo pacman -S freetype2 libjpeg-turbo libffi
**macOS (Homebrew):**
.. code-block:: bash
brew install freetype
After installing the system dependencies, retry the maigret installation.
If you continue to have issues, consider using Docker instead, which includes all
necessary dependencies.
