Installation

SAYN is available for installation using pip and is regularly tested in Python 3.7+ on both MacOS and Linux environments.

pip install sayn

Tip

It is recommended to separate the python environment from project to project, so you might want to create a virtual environment first by running the following in a terminal:

python -m venv sayn_venv
source sayn_venv/bin/activate
pip install sayn

This default installation will not install any extra database drivers, so only support for sqlite will be available. Extra drivers can be installed using pip's optional packages specification:

pip install "sayn[postgresql]"

Check the database section for a full list of supported databases.

By default the tutorials use sqlite, so with the setup above you're already setup to follow the tutorial.
