Installing and using SkoolKit¶
Requirements¶
SkoolKit requires Python 3.8+. If you’re running Linux or one of the BSDs, you probably already have Python installed. If you’re running Windows, you can get Python here.
Installation¶
There are various ways to install the latest stable release of SkoolKit:
from the zip archive or tarball available at skoolkit.ca
from the zip archive or tarball available at GitHub
If you choose the zip archive or tarball, note that SkoolKit can be used wherever it is unpacked: it does not need to be installed in any particular location.
Linux/*BSD v. Windows command line¶
Throughout this documentation, commands that must be entered in a terminal
window (‘Command Prompt’ in Windows) are shown on a line beginning with a
dollar sign ($
), like this:
$ some-script.py some arguments
On Windows, and on Linux/*BSD if SkoolKit has been installed as a Python
package (using ‘pip’), the commands may be entered exactly as they are shown.
On Linux/*BSD, use a dot-slash prefix (e.g. ./some-script.py
) if the
script is being run from the current working directory.
