Installation

Distributions are available on PyPI with the LinkPython-extern package. Example install command:

pip install LinkPython-extern

Building from source

If you want to build this package from source, you will need CMake installed. You however do not need to manually build the project, as scikit-build-core will handle invoking cmake when you install it with pip. To install directly from the main branch:

pip install git+https://github.com/thegamecracks/link-python

If building from the repository directly, make sure to clone all submodules using:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/thegamecracks/link-python
# or, if already cloned:
git submodule update --init --recursive
