A normal pinout diagram will include a hardware image, stylesheet, data file, and a Python script. Sample files are included with the package and can be duplicated for your use. Open a command line (with enabled virtual environment if you are using one) in the location you plan to work and enter the following:

Once you have these file a finished diagram can be generated from a command line py -m pinout.manager --export pinout_diagram diagram.svg. An SVG file is created and can be conveniently view in a browser.
