Den K Simple Installer - dkinst

About The Project

dkinst is a simple installer mostly for my professional needs, in case I need a one-click installer for a library or a tool. So, I will not search for a setup script/line or write one. It is written in Python, currently tested on 3.13.

Available Installers

You can check the 'installers' folder for the available installers. Or execute in CMD:

dkinst available

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.

Installation Windows

1. Install Python 3.13 or use the silent installer that will download and install it for you.
   1.1. Download the file: /dkinst/prereqs/install_python_as_admin_win.cmd
   1.2. Run CMD as admin.
   1.3. In CMD run the script with '3.13' argument (it will install the latest micro version of 3.13):

   install_python_as_admin.cmd 3.13
   

   
   
2. Install the library using pip:

   pip install dkinst
   

   
   
3. Adding auto-completion in PowerShell shell (optional):

   dkinst prereqs
   

   This will not work in CMD shell. The auto-completion lets you use TAB key to complete installer names and methods. Examples:

    dkinst install PyC<TAB>
    dkinst in<TAB>
   

   The first example will complete to 'dkinst install PyCharm' and the second to 'dkinst install'.
   

Installation Linux

Ubuntu 24 already comes with python 3.12. This file will install dkinst globally using pipx.

1. Download the file: /dkinst/prereqs/install_dkinst_pipx_debian.sh
   
2. Make the file executable:
   

   chmod +x install_dkinst_pipx_debian.sh
   

3. Run the script (runs 'dkinst prereqs' in the end) to install dkinst globally with pipx:

   ./install_dkinst_pipx_debian.sh
   

Uninstall Auto-completion

To uninstall the auto-completion from Linux terminals or Windows PowerShell shell (if installed) run:

 dkinst prereqs-uninstall

Update

To check for a new dkinst version and update if available run:

 dkinst update_versions

Usage

Execute in CMD:

dkinst
dkinst help
