Pyre is a performant type checker for Python compliant with [PEP 484](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/). Pyre can analyze codebases with millions of lines of code incrementally – providing instantaneous feedback to developers as they write code. You can try it out on examples in [the Pyre Playground](https://pyre-check.org/play).
Pyre ships with **Pysa**, a security focused static analysis tool we've built on top of Pyre that reasons about data flows in Python applications. Please refer to our [documentation](https://pyre-check.org/docs/pysa-quickstart) to get started with our security analysis.
Pysa is also available on the [GitHub Marketplace as a Github Action](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/pysa-action)
## Requirements
To get started, you need [Python 3.8 or later](https://www.python.org/getit/) and [watchman](https://facebook.github.io/watchman/) working on your system. On *MacOS* you can get everything with [homebrew](https://brew.sh/):
```bash
$ brew install python3 watchman
```
On *Ubuntu*, *Mint*, or *Debian*; use `apt-get` and [homebrew](https://brew.sh/):
```bash
$ sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-venv
$ brew install watchman
```
We tested Pyre on *Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS*, *CentOS 7*, as well as *OSX 10.11* and later.
## Setting up a Project
We start by creating an empty project directory and setting up a virtual environment:
```bash
$ mkdir my_project && cd my_project
$ python3 -m venv ~/.venvs/venv
$ source ~/.venvs/venv/bin/activate
(venv) $ pip install pyre-check
```
Next, we teach Pyre about our new project:
```bash
(venv) $ pyre init
```
This command will set up a configuration for Pyre (`.pyre_configuration`) as well as watchman (`.watchmanconfig`) in your project's directory. Accept the defaults for now – you can change them later if necessary.
## Running Pyre
We are now ready to run Pyre:
```bash
(venv) $ echo "i: int = 'string'" > test.py
(venv) $ pyre
ƛ Found 1 type error!
test.py:1:0 Incompatible variable type [9]: i is declared to have type `int` but is used as type `str`.
```
This first invocation will start a daemon listening for filesystem changes – type checking your project incrementally as you make edits to the code. You will notice that subsequent invocations of `pyre` will be faster than the first one.
