</div>
<div class="section" id="other-versions">
<span id="other-versions-without-a-jit"></span><h1>Other versions</h1>
<p>The other versions of PyPy are:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The most up-to-date <a class="reference external" href="http://buildbot.pypy.org/nightly/trunk/">nightly build</a> with a JIT, if the official
release is too old for what you want to do. If the nightly build does
not work for you, you might have more luck using <a class="reference external" href="http://baroquesoftware.com/nightlies/">alternative nightly build</a>,
however linux binary distribution is hard.</li>
<li>No JIT: A version without the JIT.  Consumes a bit less memory
and may be faster on short-running scripts.  (Note that a similar
effect can be obtained by running <tt class="docutils literal">pypy <span class="pre">--jit</span> off</tt>.)</li>
<li>Sandboxing: A special safe version.  Read the docs about <a class="reference external" href="features.html#sandboxing">sandboxing</a>.
(It is also possible to <a class="reference internal" href="#translate">translate</a> a version that includes both
sandboxing and the JIT compiler, although as the JIT is relatively
complicated, this reduces a bit the level of confidence we can put in
the result.) <strong>Note that the sandboxed binary needs a full pypy checkout
to work</strong>. Consult the <a class="reference external" href="http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/sandbox.html">sandbox docs</a> for details<ul>
<li><a class="reference external" href="https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/downloads/pypy-1.8-sandbox-linux64.tar.bz2">Linux binary (64bit)</a></li>
<li><a class="reference external" href="https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/downloads/pypy-1.8-sandbox-linux.tar.bz2">Linux binary (32bit)</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>These versions are not officially part of the releases, which focuses
on the JIT.  You can find prebuilt binaries for them on our
<a class="reference external" href="http://buildbot.pypy.org/nightly/trunk/">nightly build</a>, or <a class="reference internal" href="#translate">translate</a> them yourself.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="installing">
<h1>Installing</h1>
<p>All binary versions are packaged in a <tt class="docutils literal">tar.bz2</tt> or <tt class="docutils literal">zip</tt> file.  When
uncompressed, they run in-place.  For now you can uncompress them
either somewhere in your home directory or, say, in <tt class="docutils literal">/opt</tt>, and
if you want, put a symlink from somewhere like
<tt class="docutils literal">/usr/local/bin/pypy</tt> to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/path/to/pypy-2.0/bin/pypy</span></tt>.  Do
not move or copy the executable <tt class="docutils literal">pypy</tt> outside the tree &ndash; put
a symlink to it, otherwise it will not find its libraries.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="building-from-source">
<span id="translate"></span><h1>Building from source</h1>
<ol class="arabic">
<li><p class="first">Get the source code.  The following packages contain the source at
the same revision as the above binaries:</p>

</ul>
<p>Or you can checkout the current trunk using <a class="reference external" href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/">Mercurial</a> (the trunk
usually works and is of course more up-to-date):</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy
</pre>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Make sure you <strong>installed the dependencies.</strong>  See the list <a class="reference external" href="http://pypy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/getting-started-python.html#translating-the-pypy-python-interpreter">here</a>.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Enter the <tt class="docutils literal">goal</tt> directory:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
cd pypy/pypy/translator/goal      # release 2.0-beta-1
cd pypy/pypy/goal                 # current trunk
</pre>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Run the <tt class="docutils literal">translate.py</tt> script (called <tt class="docutils literal">rpython.py</tt> in the current
trunk).  Here are the common combinations
of options (works also with <tt class="docutils literal">python</tt> instead of <tt class="docutils literal">pypy</tt>):</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
pypy translate.py -Ojit                # get the JIT version
pypy translate.py -O2                  # get the no-jit version
pypy translate.py -O2 --sandbox        # get the sandbox version
pypy translate.py -Ojit --backend=cli  # only for branch/cli-jit
</pre>
<p>Or with the current trunk:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
../../rpython/bin/rpython -Ojit        # or -O2, etc.
</pre>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Enjoy Mandelbrot <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">:-)</span></tt>  It takes on the order of half an hour to
finish the translation, and 2.x GB of RAM on a 32-bit system
and 4.x GB on 64-bit systems.  (Do not start a translation on a
machine with insufficient RAM!  It will just swap forever.  See
notes below in that case.)</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Notes:</p>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">It is recommended to use PyPy to do translations, instead of using CPython,
because it is twice as fast.  You should just start by downloading an
official release of PyPy (with the JIT).  If you really have to use CPython
then note that we are talking about CPython 2.5-2.7 here, not CPython 3.x.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">If RAM usage is a problem (or if you are on Windows, because win32's limit
is 2 GB unless you hack a lot), then you can (for now) tweak some parameters
via environment variables and command-line options.  The following command
takes a bit more time, but finishes with only using 3.0 GB of RAM (on
Linux 64-bit; probably not much more than 1.6 GB on 32-bit).  It should be
noted that it is less than with CPython.</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
PYPY_GC_MAX_DELTA=200MB pypy --jit loop_longevity=300 ./translate.py -Ojit
</pre>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Because of <tt class="docutils literal">asmgcroot</tt>, compiling the generated C files containing the JIT
is delicate.  It requires using either MSVC or gcc with no particularly
fancy options.  It does not work e.g. with clang, or if you pass uncommon
options with the <tt class="docutils literal">CFLAGS</tt> environment variable.  You can also try to
compile PyPy with the <a class="reference external" href="http://pypy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/config/translation.gcrootfinder.html">shadow stack</a> option.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<h1>Packaging</h1>
<p>Once PyPy is translated from source the binary package similar to those provided in the section <a class="reference internal" href="#default-with-a-jit-compiler">Default (with a JIT Compiler)</a> above could be easily created with <tt class="docutils literal">package.py</tt> script as following:</p>
