Install pdfminer.six as a Python package
|
||
|
|
****************************************
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use pdfminer.six for the first time, you need to install the Python
|
||
|
|
package in your Python environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This tutorial requires you to have a system with a working Python and pip
|
||
|
|
installation. If you don't have one and don't know how to install it, take a
|
||
|
|
look at `The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python! <https://docs.python-guide.org/>`_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install using pip
|
||
|
|
=================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run the following command on the commandline to install pdfminer.six as a
|
||
|
|
Python package::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
pip install pdfminer.six
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Test pdfminer.six installation
|
||
|
|
==============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can test the pdfminer.six installation by importing it in Python.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Open an interactive Python session from the commandline import pdfminer
|
||
|
|
.six::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
>>> import pdfminer
|
||
|
|
>>> print(pdfminer.__version__) # doctest: +IGNORE_RESULT
|
||
|
|
'<installed version>'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now you can use pdfminer.six as a Python package. But pdfminer.six also
|
||
|
|
comes with a couple of useful commandline tools. To test if these tools are
|
||
|
|
correctly installed, run the following on your commandline::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ pdf2txt.py --version
|
||
|
|
pdfminer.six <installed version>
