Installation Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Metadata for Python via .NET is distributed as a self-contained wheel that bundles the embedded .NET runtime, so no additional software is required. A single py3-none-{platform} wheel works across Python 3.5 – 3.14 on Windows, Linux, and macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon).

Note

Before you install, review the System Requirements. On Linux and macOS, image and document-image processing additionally needs the libgdiplus native library — see the system-requirements page for the exact packages.

All packages are hosted at PyPI. Install the latest version with pip:

py -m pip install groupdocs-metadata-net

python3 -m pip install groupdocs-metadata-net

python3 -m pip install groupdocs-metadata-net

To upgrade an existing installation to the newest release, add the --upgrade flag:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade groupdocs-metadata-net

Note

Using a virtual environment is recommended so the package and its dependencies stay isolated from your system Python. See the Quick Start Guide for the venv setup steps.

For reproducible builds, pin the version in your project’s requirements.txt:

groupdocs-metadata-net==26.5

Then install every dependency at once:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

In environments without access to PyPI (for example, an air-gapped CI runner or a locked-down server), download the wheel for your platform and install it from a local file.

Download the wheel that matches your operating system and CPU architecture from the GroupDocs.Metadata releases page:

Install the downloaded file with pip (replace the file name with the wheel you downloaded):

py -m pip install .\groupdocs_metadata_net-26.5-py3-none-win_amd64.whl

python3 -m pip install ./groupdocs_metadata_net-26.5-py3-none-manylinux1_x86_64.whl

python3 -m pip install ./groupdocs_metadata_net-26.5-py3-none-macosx_11_0_arm64.whl

Confirm the package is installed and importable:

python3 -c "from groupdocs.metadata import Metadata; print('GroupDocs.Metadata is ready')"

You can also check the installed version with pip:

python3 -m pip show groupdocs-metadata-net
