Bleeding Edge Install

To run the latest unreleased version (master branch) of filetailor:

$ pip install git+https://gitea.carabiner.link/kjohnston/filetailor.git#egg=filetailor

Developer/Portable Install

The deafult filetailor.ini location is ~/.local/share/filetailor/. If you would prefer a different location, edit config.ini before running $ filetailor init for any of the three install types below.

Portable Install

For installing to a single folder or customizing the location of filetailor.ini.

Instead of installing filetailor with pip, you can download the source code into a single folder and run it directly.

Navigate to the folder you want to install filetailor, then run:

$ curl GIT URL
$ cd filetailor

Active Development Install:

For development.

Same as the above Portable Install, but also create an egg-link file in Python's site-packages. This allows for editing of filetailor in the current folder but filetailor can be called from any directory.

$ curl GIT URL
$ pip install --editable filetailor

Build Testing Install:

For testing building of filetailor.

Same as the above "Acive Development Install", but build the package and install to site-packages instead of linking.

$ curl GIT URL
$ cd filetailor
$ python -m build
$ pip install ./dist/filetailor-X.X.X-py3-none-any.whl
