Installation

System Requirements

view.py requires CPython 3.8 or above.

What is CPython?

CPython is the reference/official implementation of Python. If you downloaded Python through python.org or some sort of system package manager (e.g. apt, pacman, brew), it's probably CPython.

Installing with Pipx (Recommended)

pipx can install CLIs into isolated environments. view.py recommends using pipx for installation, and then using view init to initialize a virtual environment in projects. For example:

$ pipx install view.py
... pipx output
$ view init

Installing via Pip

$ pip install view.py

Development Version

$ pip install git+https://github.com/ZeroIntensity/view.py

Finalizing

To ensure you've installed view.py correctly, run the view command:

$ view

If this doesn't work properly, try executing via Python:

$ python3 -m view
