Installation

We recommend installing pymkmkit inside a Python virtual environment.

Why use a virtual environment?

A virtual environment creates an isolated Python workspace for your project. This prevents dependency conflicts between different projects and avoids modifying your system-wide Python installation.

Using virtual environments helps you:

• keep project dependencies separate

• ensure reproducibility

• avoid permission issues

• safely test different package versions

Create and activate a virtual environment

First, create a virtual environment:

python -m venv .venv

Activate it:

Linux / macOS

source .venv/bin/activate

Windows (PowerShell)

.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

Once activated, your terminal prompt should show (.venv).

Install pymkmkit

With the virtual environment active, install the package:

pip install pymkmkit

You can verify the installation with:

pip show pymkmkit
