Installation¶
Installation Methods¶
To add Dispersy to your program you can use one of the following methods:
Git Submodule¶
You can add Dispersy to your program by adding it as a submodule of your git repository:
git submodule add git@github.com:Tribler/dispersy.git dispersy
Then you need to initialize the submodules by running:
git submodule update --init --recursive
then you can start building your communities.
Installing Dependencies¶

- twisted
- netifaces
- M2Crypto
- Libsodium
- PyCrypto
