Installation Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Editor for Python via .NET is distributed as a pre-built wheel on PyPI. The PyPI index hosts a separate wheel for each supported platform, and pip picks the correct one automatically. Each wheel is self-contained (~120 MB): it bundles the embedded .NET runtime and every native dependency, so no MS Office, OpenOffice, or separate .NET install is required.

Before installing, confirm your environment matches the supported platforms and Python versions listed in the System Requirements topic.

Open a terminal and run the install command for your platform:

py -m pip install groupdocs-editor-net

python3 -m pip install groupdocs-editor-net

python3 -m pip install groupdocs-editor-net

After running the command you should see output similar to:

Collecting groupdocs-editor-net

  Downloading groupdocs_editor_net-26.5-py3-none-win_amd64.whl (104.0 MB)

The wheel file name will include a platform suffix that matches your operating system — for example manylinux1_x86_64 on Ubuntu/Debian, macosx_11_0_arm64 on Apple Silicon, or win_amd64 on 64-bit Windows.

For reproducible environments, pin the package version in your requirements.txt:

groupdocs-editor-net==26.5

Then install all dependencies in one step:

pip install -r requirements.txt

If your build environment cannot reach PyPI, download the appropriate wheel from the GroupDocs Releases website and install it locally. The following wheels are published for each release:

• Windows 64-bit: file name ends with win_amd64.whl
• Linux x64 (glibc): file name ends with manylinux1_x86_64.whl
• macOS Apple Silicon: file name ends with macosx_11_0_arm64.whl
• macOS Intel: file name ends with macosx_10_14_x86_64.whl

Place the downloaded wheel into your project folder, then install it:

py -m pip install groupdocs_editor_net-26.5-py3-none-win_amd64.whl

python3 -m pip install groupdocs_editor_net-26.5-py3-none-manylinux1_x86_64.whl

python3 -m pip install groupdocs_editor_net-26.5-py3-none-macosx_11_0_arm64.whl

python3 -m pip install groupdocs_editor_net-26.5-py3-none-macosx_10_14_x86_64.whl

Expected output:

Processing groupdocs_editor_net-26.5-py3-none-*.whl

On Windows no extra steps are required. On Linux and macOS, install the native libraries the rendering engine depends on:

apt install libgdiplus libfontconfig1 ttf-mscorefonts-installer

brew install mono-libgdiplus
