Working as a developer on this project

uv

This project uses uv for Python and dependency management. If you plan to work on this project, you will need uv.

uv can be installed with curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh. See the uv documentation for other installation options.

Once uv is installed, you can install the required Python version with:

uv python install 3.12

Installation

This package is published to PyPI, and can also be installed and run locally from a clone of the repository.

Installing the CLI Tools globally with pipx

Installing with pipx will be most conducive to running the CLI Tools from any directory.

If you don't already have pipx installed, you can get installation instructions here.

pipx install palace-tools

Alternatively, you can install directly from the git repository, for example to try a particular branch or commit (more details about installing from VCS here):

pipx install git+https://github.com/ThePalaceProject/palace-tools.git@branch-or-commit

If installation is successful, pipx will list the apps that are installed with the package.

Running CLI Tools from a cloned project

• Clone the repository.
• Change into the cloned directory.
• Run uv sync --all-groups to install the project dependencies and the CLI tools into a .venv virtual environment.

At this point, you should be able to run the CLI tools using uv run <cli-command-and-args>.
