Installation¶

Authority requires Python 3.10 or newer. The only hard runtime dependency is SQLite, which ships with the standard library.

From PyPI¶

pip install authority-auth

Extras¶

Optional features live behind extras so you only install what you need.

Extra	Provides
`async`	`AsyncSQLiteStorage` (pulls in `aiosqlite`)
`fastapi`	`authority.fastapi` integration
`flask`	`authority.flask` integration
`django`	`authority.django` integration
`starlette`	`authority.starlette` integration
`quart`	Quart support via the ASGI middleware
`dev`	Test and tooling dependencies (pytest, ruff, pyright, framework extras)
`docs`	Tooling to build this documentation site (MkDocs + Material)

Install several extras at once:

pip install "authority-auth[async,fastapi,flask,django,starlette]"

For the example applications you also need uvicorn (the ASGI apps run on it):

pip install "authority-auth[dev]" uvicorn

From source¶

git clone https://github.com/rkriad585/authority.git
cd authority

python -m venv .venv
# Windows:
.venv\Scripts\activate
# macOS / Linux:
source .venv/bin/activate

pip install -e ".[dev]"

The editable install keeps the authority package importable from src/ and registers the authority-auth distribution metadata (so authority.__version__ resolves correctly).

Verify the install¶

import authority

print(authority.__version__)

You should see the installed version, e.g. 0.2.5.
