2. Installation

2.1. Requirements

Python 3.8+

2.2. Using pip

To install the Backendpy framework using pip:

$ pip3 install backendpy

If you also want to use the optional framework features (such as database, templating, etc.), you can use the following command to install the framework with additional dependencies:

$ pip3 install backendpy[full]

If you only need one of these features, you can install the required dependencies separately. The list of these requirements is as follows:

Optional requirements

Name	Version	Usage
asyncpg	>=0.25.0	If using default ORM
sqlalchemy	>=1.4.27	If using default ORM
jinja2	>=3.0.0	If using default Templating
pillow	>=9.0.0	If using the ModifyImage filter of the backendpy.data_handler.filters
ujson	>=5.1.0	If installed, ujson.loads will be used instead of json.loads, which is faster

You also need to install an ASGI server such as Uvicorn, Hypercorn or Daphne:

$ pip3 install uvicorn
