Installation

It is best to install this package globally, rather than in a virtual environment, as it is intended to be used to create new projects. Since we are using Poetry to manage the dependencies, a virtual environment will be created for you anyway specific to each project you are creating.

Release Version

Install the package globally using pip:

$ pip install pyproject-maker

If you cannot install globally due to permissions, you can install it to your user install directory:

$ pip install --user pyproject-maker

or use pipx (recommended method)

$ pipx install pyproject-maker

Bleeding Edge Version

It is possible to install the latest development version of the package directly from the repository. In most cases this should be safe to do, but it is possible that the development version may not be stable or have bugs. If you are having issues with the development version, please open an issue on the repository.

Use pipx (recommended method):

$ pipx install git+https://github.com/seapagan/py-maker

Using pip:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/seapagan/py-maker

You can also use the --user flag for pip if you do not have permissions to install globally. This is NOT needed for pipx.

Lastly, you can clone the repository and install from the local copy:

$ git clone https://github.com/seapagan/py-maker
$ cd py-maker
$ pip install .
