@ -34,6 +34,22 @@ The ZMQ functional test requires a python ZMQ library. To install it:
- on Unix, run `sudo apt-get install python3-zmq`
- on mac OS, run `pip3 install pyzmq`
The IPC functional test requires a python IPC library. `pip3 install pycapnp` may work, but if not, install it from source:
```sh
git clone -b v2.1.0 https://github.com/capnproto/pycapnp
pip3 install ./pycapnp
```
If that does not work, try adding `-C force-bundled-libcapnp=True` to the `pip` command.
Depending on the system, it may be necessary to install and run in a venv:
```sh
python -m venv venv
git clone -b v2.1.0 https://github.com/capnproto/pycapnp
venv/bin/pip3 install ./pycapnp -C force-bundled-libcapnp=True
venv/bin/python3 build/test/functional/interface_ipc.py
```
On Windows the `PYTHONUTF8` environment variable must be set to 1:
