truealter
Python console-script shim for the ~Alter CLI. The canonical ~Alter CLI ships from
@truealter/clion npm. This package exists as a fourth install channel for pip-centric users.
Install
pip install truealter
After installation, truealter is on your PATH. The first time you run it, it
execs the alter binary from npm - so you need that installed too:
npm install -g @truealter/cli
With both installed, truealter <args> is equivalent to alter <args>.
Why a shim?
The CLI itself is a Node.js project (see @truealter/cli on npm). We publish
a thin Python shim so that:
pip installusers on systems without a global npm setup get a discoverable entry point and helpful install guidance.- CI images that only have Python tooling can install a placeholder that prints a clear, actionable error rather than "command not found".
- The
truealterPyPI name is reserved for this ecosystem and cannot be squatted later.
If the canonical node-side CLI isn't on your PATH, truealter prints install
instructions and exits with status 127. It never silently runs a half-working
re-implementation of the real CLI.
