Installation

Create a virtual environment

We recommend installing poseinterface in a virtual environment. The instructions below use uv, but feel free to use any virtual-environment tool you are familiar with, including conda.

In your working directory, create and activate a new environment:

uv venv --python=">=3.12"
source .venv/bin/activate  # On macOS and Linux
.venv\Scripts\activate     # On Windows PowerShell

Install the package

With your environment activated, install the latest release of poseinterface from PyPI:

uv pip install poseinterface

Or, to get the latest development version from the main branch on GitHub:

uv pip install git+https://github.com/neuroinformatics-unit/poseinterface.git@main

uv may be omitted from these commands if it is not available; pip install ... works in any standard virtual environment.

Update the package

To update to the latest release:

uv pip install -U poseinterface
