Building a complete Python installation requires the use of various
additional third-party libraries, depending on your build platform and
configure options. Not all standard library modules are buildable or
useable on all platforms. Refer to the
`Install dependencies <https://devguide.python.org/setup/#install-dependencies>`_
section of the `Developer Guide`_ for current detailed information on
dependencies for various Linux distributions and macOS.
On macOS, if you have configured Python with ``--enable-framework``, you
should use ``make frameworkinstall`` to do the installation. Note that this
installs the Python executable in a place that is not normally on your PATH,
you may want to set up a symlink in ``/usr/local/bin``.
On macOS, there are additional configure and build options related
to macOS framework and universal builds. Refer to `Mac/README.rst
<https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Mac/README.rst>`_.
On Windows, see `PCbuild/readme.txt
