Everybody else uses virtual environments and alternate installations of python instead of using and installing packages in the system python installation. It is not that hard.

That is the incantation.

I memorized it quickly enough from some time experimenting with cuda/ai tools.

python -m venv .

. bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

[stavros]

`uvx <tool name>` and you're done. You don't even need to install the tool first.

[zahlman]

The ephemeral environment that uv creates is as much an "installation" as the permanent one doing it manually.

[stavros]

The fact that you called one "ephemeral" and the other "permanent" makes me think you contradicted your own point.

[zahlman]

No, I just don't think the word "install" has the same connotations that you apparently think it does.
