Installation

Requirements: Python 3.7+ is required. Releases are hosted on PyPI and can be installed using pip or pipenv.

Install Into the System Python

Installing yabs as part of your system’s Python will make the CLI available from the command line. You may need administrator permissions, like sudo. Also make sure to use Python 3 if the system installation uses Python 2 (as on macOS).

For example:

$ sudo python3 -m pip install -U yabs
$ yabs --version -v
yabs/1.0.0 Python/3.6.1 Darwin-17.6.0-x86_64-i386-64bit
$ yabs --help
...

Run From a Virtual Environment

Installing yabs and its dependencies into a ‘sandbox’ will help to keep your system Python clean, but requires to activate the virtual environment:

$ cd /path/to/yabs
$ pipenv shell
(yabs) $ pipenv install yabs --upgrade
(yabs) $ yabs --version -v
yabs/0.0.1 Python/3.6.1 Darwin-17.6.0-x86_64-i386-64bit
(yabs) $ yabs --help
...

See Development for directions for contributors.

Now the yabs command is available:

$ yabs --help

and the yabs package can be used in Python code:

$ python
>>> from yabs import __version__
>>> __version__
'0.0.1'
