Embedded mode

seekdb provides an embedded deployment method that runs as a "library" inside your application. It can easily run on various "endpoints", making it suitable for mobile application development, desktop application development, and application development on IoT and edge devices.

You can deploy embedded seekdb through pyseekdb (the Python SDK provided by seekdb) or Python.

Environment requirements​

  • Supported operating systems: Linux (glibc >= 2.28)

  • Supported Python versions: Python 3.11 and later

  • Supported system architectures: x86_64, aarch64

You can run the following command to check whether your environment meets the requirements.

python3 -c 'import sys;import platform; print(f"Python: {platform.python_implementation()} {platform.python_version()}, System: {platform.system()} {platform.machine()}, {platform.libc_ver()[0]}: {platform.libc_ver()[1]}");'

The following result is returned:

Python: CPython 3.8.17, System: Linux x86_64, glibc: 2.32

Use pip to install, which automatically loads embedded seekdb. The specific commands are as follows.

pip install pyseekdb
# Or specify an installation source for faster installation
pip install pyseekdb -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple

Deploy seekdb using Python​

Use pip to install, which automatically detects the default Python version and platform.

pip install pylibseekdb
# Or specify an installation source for faster installation
pip install pylibseekdb -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple

Considerations​

If you are prompted that the pip version is too low when deploying seekdb, upgrade pip first before installing.

pip install --upgrade pip
