Installation

We recommend either uv or pip with venv for installation. First, create a virtual environment:

uv

$ uv venv

Note

uv will handle environment activation implicitly when you use uv run.

venv

$ python3 -m venv my-env

Then activate the environment:

$ source my-env/bin/activate

Then install irdl into that environment:

uv

$ uv pip install irdl

pip

$ pip install -U irdl

Check the installation by asking the CLI for help:

uv

$ uv run irdl --help

pip

$ irdl --help

Tip

If you want the irdl command to be available globally, install it as a uv tool:

$ uv tool install irdl

Upgrade the global tool later with:

$ uv tool upgrade irdl
