Getting Started

Modelith relies on uv. If you haven't installed uv yet, please do by following Installing uv and Python section.

uv tool install modelith

Installing uv and Python

This project is set up to use uv, the new package manager for Python. uv replaces traditional use of pyenv, pipx, poetry, pip, etc. This is a quick cheat sheet on that:

On macOS or Linux, if you don't have uv installed, a quick way to install it:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

For macOS, you prefer brew you can install or upgrade uv with:

brew update
brew install uv

See uv's docs for more installation methods and platforms.

Now you can use uv to install a current Python environment:

uv python install 3.13 # Or pick another version.

Usage (🚧 - will be updated)

The CLI tool is very minimalistic by design and has very few commands. You can view all the commands by running modelith -h
