Installation

Requirements

This package requires >= 3.12.

It is highly advised to create a new virtual environment.

uv pip

$ uv venv

$ python -m venv .venv

Note

When using the default virtual environment name (i.e.: .venv), uv will automatically find and use the virtual environment during subsequent invocations.

Then, activate the virtual environment

Linux cmd PowerShell

$ source .venv/bin/activate

> .\.venv\Scripts\activate.bat

> .\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

You can now install the package by simply

uv pip

$ uv pip pypokeclient

$ pip install pypokeclient
