Installation

Install with pip

pip install sfetch

Install from source

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/mihasket/sfetch.git
cd sfetch

2. Make sure you have the latest version of PyPA’s build installed:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade build

3. Run this command in the same directory as pyproject.toml

python3 -m build

This will create two files in the dist directory. Example:

dist/
├── sfetch-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl
└── sfetch-1.0.0.tar.gz

The tar.gz file is a source distribution whereas the .whl file is a built distribution

4. Install the .whl file. Example:

pip install dist/sfetch-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl

The 1.0.0 is for the version of the application.

If you want to uninstall use:

pip uninstall sfetch
