Installation
Check your version of python
You will need python 3.8 or later. You can check your version of python by typing into a terminal:
python3 --version
Create a virtual environment
It is recommended that you install into a “virtual environment” so this installation will not interfere with any existing Python software:
python3 -m venv /path/to/venv
source /path/to/venv/bin/activate
Installing the library
You can now use pip
to install the library:
python3 -m pip install python3-pip-skeleton
If you require a feature that is not currently released you can also install from github:
python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/epics-containers/python3-pip-skeleton.git
The library should now be installed and the commandline interface on your path. You can check the version that has been installed by typing:
python3-pip-skeleton --version

To pull the container from github container registry and run:
docker run ghcr.io/epics-containers/python3-pip-skeleton:main --version
