Prerequisite

- Python 3.9 up to 3.12
- Windows: Install Windows Subsystem Linux (WSL)
Check your python version in a terminal with python3 --version.
Installation
There are three ways to install ape: pipx, pip, or Docker.
Considerations for Installing
-
If using
pip, we advise using the most up-to-date version ofpipto increase the chance of a successful installation.- See issue https://github.com/ApeWorX/ape/issues/1558.
- To upgrade
pipfrom the command line, run:pip install --upgrade pip.
-
We advise installing in a virtualenv or venv to avoid interfering with OS-level site packages.
-
We advise installing
apewith recommended pluginspip install eth-ape'[recommended-plugins]'. -

Installing with docker
Ape can also run in a docker container.
You can pull our images from ghcr.
This image is built using our recommended-plugins extra, so it is a great starting point for running ape in a containerized environment.
We also have a slim docker image that is built without any installed plugins.
This image is meant for production support and must be further configured if any plugins are in use.
You can pull the image:
$ docker pull ghcr.io/apeworx/ape:latest # installs with recommended-plugins
or pull the slim if you have specific needs that you'd like to build from:
$ docker pull ghcr.io/apeworx/ape:latest-slim # installs ape with required packages
or build the image locally from source:
$ docker build -t ape:latest-slim -f Dockerfile.slim .
$ docker build -t ape:latest .
An example of running a command from the container would be:
docker run \
--volume $HOME/.ape:/home/harambe/.ape \
--volume $HOME/.vvm:/home/harambe/.vvm \
--volume $HOME/.solcx:/home/harambe/.solcx \
--volume $PWD:/home/harambe/project \
apeworx/ape compile
Note: The above command requires the full install which includes
recommended-pluginsinstallation extra.
Quickstart
After you have installed Ape, run ape --version to verify the installation was successful.
Interact with Ape using either the CLI or Python code.
