Requirements

ansito requires Python 3.6 or above.

To install Python 3.6, I recommend using pyenv.

# install pyenv
git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv ~/.pyenv

# setup pyenv (you should also put these three lines in .bashrc or similar)
export PATH="${HOME}/.pyenv/bin:${PATH}"
export PYENV_ROOT="${HOME}/.pyenv"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"

# install Python 3.6
pyenv install 3.6.8

# make it available globally
pyenv global system 3.6.8

Installation

With pip:

python3.6 -m pip install ansito

With pipx:

# install pipx with the recommended method
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cs01/pipx/master/get-pipx.py | python3

pipx install --python python3.6 ansito
