Hyper desktop viewer

Prebuilt native viewer for hypergraph-viz. Install the Python API and matching viewer together:

python -m pip install "hypergraph-viz[viewer]"

import hyper_viz

document = hyper_viz.HifDocument.load("dataset.hif.json")
viewer = hyper_viz.show(document, projection="bipartite")
viewer.wait()  # Or viewer.close() to terminate.

No repository checkout or Rust compiler is needed on supported platforms. The viewer executable is also available as hyper in your Python environment. The launcher locates it through installed-package metadata, so activating the virtual environment is optional when running that environment's Python.

Wheels cover Linux x86_64 (glibc 2.28+), macOS arm64/x86_64 (11.0+), and Windows x86_64. A desktop session and working graphics driver are required. The viewer runs on the machine executing Python; it does not embed into a notebook or send a window from a remote kernel to your browser. Use the notebook prototype roadmap for the planned browser frontend.

This package contains a native binary, not a Python extension. It does not include HIF Python bindings by itself; use the [viewer] extra shown above. Windows wheels link the C runtime statically, avoiding a separate Visual C++ Redistributable installation. An explicit executable="/path/to/hyper" still overrides the packaged binary. There are no downloads during show().

MIT OR Apache-2.0. The bundled HIF schema is MIT-licensed. Graphics drivers remain system dependencies. Linux binary dependencies are audited without bundling external libraries. Unused audio and gamepad backends are excluded from the desktop build.
