<p>The <em>pyasn1</em> library is a pure-Python package with no external
dependencies. Considering how much industrial or finance software
can be stuck with an old platform (think RHEL 5), we struggle to
maintain its compatibility back to the very pre-historic Python
(which is 2.4!).</p>
<p>The best way to obtain PyASN1 is by running <cite>pip</cite>:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ virtualenv venv
$ <span class="nb">source</span> venv/bin/activate
$ pip install pyasn1
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>You may also want to use <cite>pyasn1-modules</cite>:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ pip install pyasn1-modules
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Alternatively, you can download the latest release from
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/etingof/pyasn1/releases">GitHub</a>
or <a class="reference external" href="https://pypi.org/project/pyasn1">PyPI</a>.</p>
