We recommend that you use Python 3.7 or newer, as the tool makes use of dataclasses.

It might be possible to run on 3.6 at the lowest, but you'll need to install the dataclasses backport package

python3 -m pip install -U openalias

Install from source

git clone https://github.com/Privex/openalias-py.git
cd openalias-py
# You can either use pip to install it, or setup.py
# Via pip
pip3 install .

# You can either use the command which is supposed to be auto-installed into /usr/local/bin
# or ~/.local/bin - or you can use python3 -m openalias

openaliaspy get -p privex.io ltc

# List all addresses associated with privex.io in a colourful rich table
openaliaspy list privex.io
