tox installation¶
Install info in a nutshell¶
Pythons: CPython 2.7 and 3.5 or later, Jython-2.5.1, pypy-1.9ff
Operating systems: Linux, Windows, OSX, Unix
Installer Requirements: setuptools
License: MIT license
git repository: https://github.com/tox-dev/tox
Installation with pip¶
Use the following command:
pip install tox
It is fine to install tox itself into a virtualenv environment.
Install from clone¶
Consult the GitHub page how to clone the git repository:
and then install in your environment with something like:
$ cd <path/to/clone>
$ pip install .
or install it editable if you want code changes to propagate automatically:
$ cd <path/to/clone>
$ pip install --editable .
so that you can do changes and submit patches.
[Linux/macOS] Install via your package manager¶
You can also find tox packaged for many Linux distributions and Homebrew for macOs - usually under the name of python-tox or simply tox. Be aware though that there also other projects under the same name (most prominently a secure chat client with no affiliation to this project), so make sure you install the correct package.
