Download and Installation

Install via pip      

DVR-Scan is available via pip as the dvr-scan package.

Windows Build (64-bit Only)  

Due to a change in the installer format, you must uninstall previous versions of DVR-Scan before installing v1.5.1. Windows builds including Nvidia CUDA® support require a GTX 900-series or higher GPU. These builds are still experimental, and are not code signed.

Python Distribution      

To install from source, download and extract the latest release to a location of your choice, and make sure you have the appropriate system requirements installed before continuing. DVR-Scan can be built by running the following command:

python -m build

DVR-Scan can then be installed from the built package using pip.

See the section Installing & Updating for instructions on installing DVR-Scan and the required system dependencies. The source distribution is the recommended download for Linux and Mac users. Although source installation is possible on Windows, the installer and portable versions are the recommended downloads for Windows users, as all required dependencies come bundled with these distributions.
