Installation#

Check your version of python#

You will need python 3.10 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 and its dependencies:

$ python3 -m pip install maaspower

If you require a feature that is not currently released you can also install from github:

$ python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/gilesknap/maaspower.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:

$ maaspower --version
