Nester is currently released to PyPi, the Python Packaging Index.
To install Nester from PyPi, make sure you have pip aswell as a reasonably up-to-date version of Python 3 installed.
Nester has been validated to work with Python 3.10 and 3.11. However, it should work with older versions of python too,
as long as they can provide an appropriate version of both Click and Questionary.
If you run an outdated version of Python and run into issues with Nester, please note that we cannot provide a backwards patch for these problems.
Open a Terminal and run:
pip install nester-structNote: The package name nester was already occupied by the time we released Nester to PyPi. Although we could not find
a package with that name.
We are currently investigating if we can get the name assigned to us.
NOTE: This functionality is currently undergoing changes. We recommend installing Nester via pip to receive the newest
changes to the project.
Note: The .rpm-release of Nester can straggle behind in features to its pip release. This is because the OBS build
is being maintained by a volunteer so it can take a couple days for changes to be released here.
To install Nester via its OBS repository follow these steps (on openSUSE):
- Add the repository
sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:kodymo/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/home:kodymo.repo- Refresh your repositories
sudo zypper ref- Install Nester
sudo zypper install python3-nesterNote: The repository contains three builds for nester for Python 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11. zypper will automatically decide
which version to use when running the command above.
You can visit the repository on the package maintainer's OBS account.
Nester uses setuptools as its build tool and pyproject.toml and setup.cfg as configuration files. To install the
