Nuitka Downloads

General

Thank you for downloading Nuitka. Please consider becoming a Nuitka commercial subscriber.

Nuitka Standard vs Commercial

The standard edition is what you download here. It lacks features that commercial users might want for IP protection. Nuitka standard bundles your code, dependencies and data into a single executable if you want. It also does acceleration, just running faster in the same environment, and can produce extension modules as well.

Get Nuitka Standard

Nuitka Commercial

The commercial edition additionally protects your code, data and outputs, so that users of the executable cannot access these. This a private repository of plugins that you pay to get access to. Additionally, you can purchase priority support.

The current release is Nuitka 2.7.16. Stable releases are supported with hot fixes, indicated by the last of the 3 digits.

Note

Stable releases are supposed to work for you. Develop releases are snapshots of the current develop branch in git, usually also relatively stable, but also rarely break.

Note

During releases package builds can lag behind for a couple of days.

Quick Install

Recommended: Install via PyPI (all platforms)

python -m pip install -U Nuitka

For the latest development version:

python -m pip install -U "https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka/archive/develop.zip"

Note

Use the Python interpreter you want to compile with, that is the easiest way. And also invoke as python -m nuitka with that interpreter. It is the easiest and most reliable way.
