Install from source

[Forza-tng]

Hi,
Is there a way to install Pinnwand from sources rather than via pip? I'd like to be able to customise the html and css of my installation.

Thanks :)

Sure, it should be; download the source tarball from pypi (or github on the releases)-page and then a pip install . in that directory.

Thanks. This works. It's there a way to make it without pip? I am considering packaging Pinnwand on Alpine and we want to keep dependencies minimal.

The preferred way to install a python package is through python setup.py or via gpep517

Some examples are

I think everything you'd need should be in the pyproject.toml but I readily admit I'm not the best at pep517. Let me direct a friendly Alpine developer into this issue to see what they think!
