Installation

On Windows use:

(.venv) $ pip install pysikuli

python -m pip install pysikuli

On MacOS and Linux use:

(.venv) $ pip3 install pysikuli

python3 -m pip install pysikuli

External dependencies

External dependencies mostly belong to the sounddevice module, which is used to user-friendly capture Region and Location. However, pysikuli can work normally without them.

Windows:

sounddevice dependence:

Microsoft C++ build tools

Linux:

sounddevice dependencies:

$ sudo apt install libportaudio2

Also, pysikuli will try to install this package on its own the first time you run it

MacOS

You need to enable Accessibility and Screen capture permissions to terminal or python itself.

VS Code add-ons

I would also recommend installing these VS Code’s add-ons:

Paste Image, for pasting screenshots directly in the code from clipboard. You can also set up a specific folder to store your pics.
Image preview, for preview captured photos
luna-paint, useful tool for fast cropping captured images inside VS Code
