Installation

gmpy2 requires CPython 3.7 or above. Pre-compiled binary wheels are available on PyPI. You can install latest release with pip:

pip install gmpy2

or some specific version with:

pip install gmpy2==2.1.5

If pre-compiled binary wheels aren’t available for your platform, the pip will fallback to installation from sources. In this case you will need to have required libraries (GMP, MPFR and MPC) already installed on your system, along with the include files for those libraries. On Debian you can install them systed-wide with:

sudo apt install libgmp-dev libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev

Tip

On Windows we recommend using MSYS2 to build the gmpy2 from sources. To install required dependencies before, run:

pacman -S gcc gmp-devel mpfr-devel mpc-devel python-setuptools python-pip

From Sources

If you are a developer or like to get the latest updates as they come, be sure to install from the git repository and include required extra dependencies, for example the optional “tests” list, which include packages required for testing:

git clone git://github.com/aleaxit/gmpy.git
cd gmpy
pip install -e .[tests]

Next you may want to run full set of unit tests to make sure everything works:

pytest test/
