About

Textual adds interactivity to Rich with an API inspired by modern web development.

On modern terminal software (installed by default on most systems), Textual apps can use 16.7 million colors with mouse support and smooth flicker-free animation. A powerful layout engine and re-usable components makes it possible to build apps that rival the desktop and web experience.

Compatibility

Textual runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Textual requires Python 3.8 or above.

Installing

Install Textual via pip:

pip install textual

If you plan on developing Textual apps, you should also install the development tools with the following command:

pip install textual-dev

See the docs if you need help getting started.
