Altium Cruncher
Command-line tools for working with Altium projects, schematics, boards and libraries on Windows, macOS and Linux. Export SVGs, generate BOM and pick-and-place files, extract library assets, and inspect or modify designs.
Install uv
uv installs the application and manages its Python runtime and dependencies.
On Windows, open PowerShell and run:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
On macOS or Linux:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
Restart your terminal after installing uv.

For a specific branch, tag or commit, replace main in the URL with that
reference. Both installation methods provide the same command names:

Use the same branch reference you selected when installing.
