Installation

checkdmarc requires Python 3.

On Debian or Ubuntu systems, run:

$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Python 3 installers for Windows and macOS can be found at https://www.python.org/downloads/

To install or upgrade to the latest stable release of checkdmarc on macOS or Linux, run

$ sudo -H pip3 install -U checkdmarc

Or, install the latest development release directly from GitHub:

$ sudo -H pip3 install -U git+https://github.com/domainaware/checkdmarc.git

Note

On Windows, pip3 is pip, even with Python 3. So on Windows, simply substitute pip as an administrator in place of sudo pip3, in the above commands.
