13 The Arvados FUSE driver is a Python utility that allows you to browse Arvados projects and collections in a filesystem, so you can access that data using existing Unix tools.
17 If you are logged in to a managed Arvados VM, the @arv-mount@ utility should already be installed.
19 To use the FUSE driver elsewhere, you can install from a distribution package or pip.
21 h2. Option 1: Install from distribution packages
23 First, "add the appropriate package repository for your distribution":{{ site.baseurl }}/install/packages.html.
25 {% assign arvados_component = 'python3-arvados-fuse' %}
27 {% include 'install_packages' %}
29 h2. Option 2: Install with pip
31 Run @pip install arvados_fuse@ in an appropriate installation environment, such as a virtualenv.
33 Note: The FUSE driver depends on the @libcurl@ and @libfuse@ C libraries. To install the module you may need to install development headers from your distribution. On Debian-based distributions you can install them by running:
36 <pre><code># <span class="userinput">apt install build-essential python3-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libfuse-dev libssl-dev</span>
