|
|||
Borg](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html), at
|

least version 1.1.
|

|

Then, run the following command to download and install borgmatic:
|
||||
Borgmatic consumes configurations in `/etc/borgmatic/` and `/etc/borgmatic.d/`
|
||||
by default. Therefore, we show how to install borgmatic for the root user which
|
||||
will have access permissions for these locations by default.
|
||||
|
||||
Run the following commands to download and install borgmatic:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo pip3 install --upgrade borgmatic
|
||||
sudo pip3 install --user --upgrade borgmatic
|
||||
```

This is a [recommended user site
|
||||
installation](https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/#installing-to-the-user-site).
|
||||
You will need to ensure that `/root/.local/bin` is available on your `$PATH` so
|
||||
that the borgmatic executable is available.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that your pip binary may have a different name than "pip3". Make sure
|
||||
you're using Python 3, as borgmatic does not support Python 2.
