GitLab requires Python as a dependency for reStructuredText markup rendering. It requires Python 3.
InstallationThere are several ways of installing Python on your system. To be able to use the same version we use in production, we suggest you use pyenv
. It works and behaves similarly to its counterpart in the Ruby world: rbenv
.
To install pyenv
on macOS, you can use Homebrew with:
pyenv
does not officially support Windows and does not work in Windows outside the Windows Subsystem for Linux. If you are a Windows user, you can use pyenv-win
.
To install pyenv-win
on Windows, run the following PowerShell command:
Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win/master/pyenv-win/install-pyenv-win.ps1" -OutFile "./install-pyenv-win.ps1"; &"./install-pyenv-win.ps1"
Linux
To install pyenv
on Linux, you can run the command below:
curl "https://pyenv.run" | bash
Alternatively, you may find pyenv
available as a system package via your distribution’s package manager.
You can read more about it in the pyenv
prerequisites.
Pyenv
installation adds required changes to Bash. If you use a different shell, check for any additional steps required for it.
For Fish, you can install a plugin for Fisher:
fisher add fisherman/pyenv
Or for Oh My Fish:
Dependency managementWhile GitLab doesn’t directly contain any Python scripts, because we depend on Python to render reStructuredText markup, we need to keep track on dependencies on the main project level, so we can run that on our development machines.
Recently, an equivalent to the Gemfile
and the Bundler project has been introduced to Python: Pipfile
and Pipenv.
A Pipfile
with the dependencies now exists in the root folder. To install them, run:
Running this command installs both the required Python version as well as required pip dependencies.
Use instructionsTo run any Python code under the Pipenv environment, you need to first start a virtualenv
based on the dependencies of the application. With Pipenv, this is a simple as running:
After running that command, you can run GitLab on the same shell and it uses the Python and dependencies installed from the pipenv install
command.
