Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7 or higher
• pip/pipx

Installing pipx (recommended)

Windows:

python -m pip install --user pipx
python -m pipx ensurepath

Restart your terminal after running these.

macOS:

brew install pipx

Or without Homebrew:

python3 -m pip install --user pipx
python3 -m pipx ensurepath

Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):

sudo apt update && sudo apt install pipx

Linux (other distros):

python3 -m pip install --user pipx
python3 -m pipx ensurepath

Installing PyDOS

Using pipx (recommended):

pipx install Py-DOS-B1

Using pip:

pip install Py-DOS-B1

Running locally:

git clone https://github.com/basanta-bhandari/PY_DOS
cd PY_DOS
pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py

On some systems a virtual environment is required first:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate   # Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py

Running PyDOS

boot

Commands

Directory,file & system commands can be viewed through the 'help' command.

Package Manager

install <package>-------->Installs a pip package uninstall <package>------>Uninstalls a pip package

Editor

Text and executable files open in nvim on macOS/Linux and Notepad on Windows. When using nvim:

• i -> enter insert mode
• Esc -> exit insert mode
• :wq -> save and exit
• :q! -> exit without saving

Troubleshooting

• Close and reopen your terminal
• Windows: ensure the Python Scripts directory is in your PATH
• macOS/Linux: ensure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH
• Verify installation: python -m pip show Py-DOS-B1

Permission errors on Linux/macOS:

pip install --user Py-DOS-B1
