Manual Installation

In order to manually install Toapi you'll need Python installed on your system, as well as the Python package manager, pip. You can check if you have these already installed from the command line:

$ python --version
Python 3.5.2
$ pip --version
pip 9.0.1

Toapi supports Python3.5+.

Installing Python

Install Python by downloading an installer appropriate for your system from python.org and running it.

Note

If you are installing Python on Windows, be sure to check the box to have Python added to your PATH if the installer offers such an option (it's normally off by default).

Installing pip

If you're using a recent version of Python, the Python package manager, pip, is most likely installed by default. However, you may need to upgrade pip to the lasted version:

pip install --upgrade pip

If you need to install pip for the first time, download get-pip.py. Then run the following command to install it:

python get-pip.py

Installing Toapi

Install the toapi package using pip:

pip install toapi

You should now have the toapi command installed on your system. Run toapi --version to check that everything worked okay.

$ toapi --version
toapi, version 1.0.0

Note

If you are using Windows, some of the above commands may not work out-of-the-box.

A quick solution may be to preface every Python command with python -m like this:

python -m pip install toapi
python -m api

For a more permanent solution, you may need to edit your PATH environment variable to include the Scripts directory of your Python installation. Recent versions of Python include a script to do this for you. Navigate to your Python installation directory (for example C:\Python34\), open the Tools, then Scripts folder, and run the win_add2path.py file by double clicking on it. Alternatively, you can download the script and run it (python win_add2path.py).
