Installing pyutmpx

In order to run and tweak pyutmpx, you must first install it; this section will cover the need.

Dependencies

pyutmpx is a binary module for CPython 3.x, and only depends on standard libraries which it checks.

Installing pyutmpx using pip

To install pyutmpx, you can use pip with the following command:

python -m pip install pyutmpx

Some notes on this command:

• On most Linux distributions, you can directly call pip (or pip3 on those where Python 2.x is still the default); I personnally prefer to call it through Python as a module.

• On Linux and other UNIX-like distributions where Python 2.x is still the default, when Python 3.x is installed, you must usually call it using python3 instead of python.

• On Microsoft Windows, the Python executable, when added to the PATH, goes by the name py instead of python.
