Windows Install
---------------
Synapse can be installed on Cygwin. It requires the following Cygwin packages:
- gcc
- git
- libffi-devel
- openssl (and openssl-devel, python-openssl)
- python
- python-setuptools
The content repository requires additional packages and will be unable to process
uploads without them:
- libjpeg8
- libjpeg8-devel
- zlib
If you choose to install Synapse without these packages, you will need to reinstall
``pillow`` for changes to be applied, e.g. ``pip uninstall pillow`` ``pip install
pillow --user``
Troubleshooting:
- You may need to upgrade ``setuptools`` to get this to work correctly:
``pip install setuptools --upgrade``.
- You may encounter errors indicating that ``ffi.h`` is missing, even with
``libffi-devel`` installed. If you do, copy the ``.h`` files:
``cp /usr/lib/libffi-3.0.13/include/*.h /usr/include``
- You may need to install libsodium from source in order to install PyNacl. If
you do, you may need to create a symlink to ``libsodium.a`` so ``ld`` can find
it: ``ln -s /usr/local/lib/libsodium.a /usr/lib/libsodium.a``
If you wish to run or develop Synapse on Windows, the Windows Subsystem For
Linux provides a Linux environment on Windows 10 which is capable of using the
Debian, Fedora, or source installation methods. More information about WSL can
be found at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10 for
Windows 10 and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-on-server
for Windows Server.
