lab-env
lab-env is a command-line toolkit for consistent research computing
environments on macOS and Linux. It keeps personal host configuration outside
the installed package and provides diagnostics without connecting to remote
systems or changing shell startup files.
lab-env provides personal TOML configuration, shared and user-defined hosts,
SSH and resumable rsync commands, local diagnostics, and managed Bash/Zsh shell
integration. Shell setup preserves existing dotfiles and can be previewed before
installation.
Installation
Python 3.11 or newer is supported. For an isolated command-line installation, use pipx:
pipx install lab-env
For development from a checkout:
python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
Quick Start
lab --help
lab init
lab hosts
lab doctor
lab connect HOST
lab pull HOST REMOTE_PATH [LOCAL_PATH]
lab push HOST LOCAL_PATH REMOTE_PATH
lab tecplot export figure.lay
lab shell preview
lab shell install
lab shell status
After lab shell install, the legacy-compatible shortcut exports PNG images at
2000 pixels wide by default:
lay2pic figure.lay
By default, configuration is stored at
~/.config/lab-env/config.toml. XDG_CONFIG_HOME is honored when set. Use an
explicit path for testing or multiple environments:
lab --config ./example.toml init
lab --config ./example.toml doctor
lab init refuses to overwrite an existing file. lab shell install is the
only current command that modifies shell startup configuration. Preview the
exact paths and managed block first with lab shell preview.
