Install Guide¶

Being a modern Python library, Irenogram requires Python 3.7 or higher to run.

Install with pip¶

$ pip install irenogram

Note

If you’re on Linux and encounter permission issues, try using pip install --user irenogram or a virtual environment.

Install from Source¶

You can install the development version directly from GitHub:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/abirxdhack/irenogram.git

Or clone and install manually:

$ git clone https://github.com/abirxdhack/irenogram.git
$ cd irenogram
$ pip install .

Upgrade¶

To upgrade Irenogram to the latest version:

$ pip install -U irenogram

Verify¶

To verify that the installation was successful:

import pyrogram
print(pyrogram.__version__)

Optional Dependencies¶

Irenogram has a few optional dependencies for enhanced functionality:

tgcrypto — Faster crypto operations (highly recommended).
python-socks — Proxy support (SOCKS4, SOCKS5, HTTP).
pymongo — MongoDB storage engine support.
uvloop — Faster event loop for better performance on Linux/macOS.

Install them with:

$ pip install tgcrypto python-socks pymongo uvloop

Tip

Installing tgcrypto is strongly recommended as it provides a significant speed improvement for the cryptographic operations performed during the MTProto handshake and message encryption.
