Install dependencies
====================

This section explains how to install additional extensions (e.g. ``zlib``)
on :ref:`Linux <deps-on-linux>` and :ref:`macOS`. On Windows,
extensions are already included and built automatically.
on :ref:`Linux <deps-on-linux>` and :ref:`macOS`.

For Unix-based systems, we try to use system libraries whenever available.
This means optional components will only build if the relevant system headers
are available. The best way to obtain the appropriate headers will vary by
distribution, but the appropriate commands for some popular distributions
are below.

First, make sure you have enabled the source packages in the sources list.
You can do this by adding the location of the source packages, including
URL, distribution name and component name, to ``/etc/apt/sources.list``.
Take Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) for example::

Also note that macOS does not include several libraries used by the Python
standard library, including ``libzma``, so expect to see some extension module
build failures unless you install local copies of them. As of OS X 10.11,
Apple no longer provides header files for the deprecated system version of
OpenSSL which means that you will not be able to build the ``_ssl`` extension.
One solution is to install these libraries from a third-party package
manager, like Homebrew_ or MacPorts_, and then add the appropriate paths
for the header and library files to your ``configure`` command.

There will sometimes be optional modules added for a new release which
won't yet be identified in the OS-level build dependencies. In those cases,
just ask for assistance in the *Core Development* category on :ref:`help-discourse`.
