Installing AIMBAT

AIMBAT is available on PyPI and can be installed with any standard Python package manager. We recommend uv or pipx, which isolate the installation from the rest of your Python environment.

Running without installing

uv can run AIMBAT directly without a permanent installation:

$ uvx aimbat --version
2.0.0

The first run downloads AIMBAT and its dependencies; subsequent runs use the cache and start immediately.

Running the development version

$ uvx git+https://github.com/pysmo/aimbat --version
2.1.0.dev0

To clear the cache afterwards:

$ uv clean

Installing permanently

$ uv tool install aimbat
Installed 1 executable: aimbat

$ aimbat
Usage: aimbat COMMAND
...

Tip

If your shell cannot find the aimbat command, add ~/.local/bin to your PATH by running uv tool update-shell.

Upgrade or uninstall with:

$ uv tool upgrade aimbat
$ uv tool uninstall aimbat
