| To develop on Kolibri, you'll need: | |||
|
|
|||
| * Python 3.6+ (Kolibri doesn't currently support Python 3.12.0 or higher) | |||
| * Python 3.9 or higher (Note: Kolibri does not yet support Python 3.12 or above) | |||
There was a problem hiding this comment.
This should be updated to Python 3.14 or above

| Managing Python installations can be quite tricky. We *highly* recommend using `pyenv <https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv>`__ or if you are more comfortable using a package manager, then package managers like `Homebrew <http://brew.sh/>`__ on Mac or ``apt`` on Debian for this. | ||
|
|
||
| To install pyenv see the detailed instructions here :doc:`/howtos/installing_pyenv`. | ||
| ..note:: | ||
| If you are using a package manager, make sure to install a Python version compatible with Kolibri (3.9 or above, but below 3.12). If you're using `pyenv`, you can install it with a command like `pyenv install 3.9.9`. |
