Install Python Drivers

First, unzip the stellarnet driver library. Second, go to the unzipped folder. 

Then check what the Python version is

The driver files for macOS are located in the stellarnet_driverLibs/ folder and have the .darwin.so extension. Choose the correct file based on your Python version:

• Python 3.7 → stellarnet_driver3.cpython-37m-darwin.so

• Python 3.8 → stellarnet_driver3.cpython-38-darwin.so

• Python 3.9 → stellarnet_driver3.cpython-39-darwin.so

• Python 3.10 → stellarnet_driver3.cpython-310-darwin.so

• Python 3.11 → stellarnet_driver3.cpython-311-darwin.so

• Python 3.12 → stellarnet_driver3.cpython-312-darwin.so

If Python version is 3.12 for example, 

Make sure to add the driver as a trusted application of your system.

Permanently add the driver to your PYTHONPATH

Or add to the PYTHONPATH temporarily.

Check if the installation is working.

Run the demo python script to make sure your code is working properly.

Not setting up a python path

If you do not want to add the stellarnet path to your python you should add the python path before importing the module.
