Synapse can connect to PostgreSQL via the [psycopg2](https://pypi.org/project/psycopg2/) Python library. Building this library from source requires access to PostgreSQL's C header files. On Debian or Ubuntu Linux, these can be installed with `sudo apt install libpq-dev`.
Synapse has an optional, improved user search with better Unicode support. For that you need the development package of `libicu`. On Debian or Ubuntu Linux, this can be installed with `sudo apt install libicu-dev`.
The source code of Synapse is hosted on GitHub. You will also need [a recent version of git](https://github.com/git-guides/install-git).
For some tests, you will need [a recent version of Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/).

# Upgrading to v1.74.0
## Unicode support in user search
This version introduces optional support for an [improved user search dealing with Unicode characters](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/14464).
If you want to take advantage of this feature you need to install PyICU,
the ICU native dependency and its development headers
so that PyICU can build since no prebuilt wheels are available.
You can follow [the PyICU documentation](https://pypi.org/project/PyICU/) to do so,
and then do `pip install matrix-synapse[icu]` for a PyPI install.
Docker images and Debian packages need nothing specific as they already
include or specify ICU as an explicit dependency.
