Installing

A succinct instruction on installing check-datapackage in a Python project.

Before installing check-datapackage, you need to have Python and uv installed.

To check that these programs are installed, run the following commands in your Terminal:

Terminal

python3 --version
uv --version

If Python and uv are installed, these commands will show you the versions installed on your system. If you get an error, you need to install them before continuing.

Install check-datapackage in a Python project

It’s generally recommended to install Python packages in a project’s virtual environment to keep the project’s dependencies isolated from the system-wide Python setup and avoid conflicts. We use (and recommend) uv.

We assume you’ve already created a Python project that has a pyproject.toml file. If not, review uv’s guide on making projects.

While in the Terminal and in the project’s directory, add check-datapackage to your project’s virtual environment by running:

Terminal

uv add "check-datapackage @ git+https://github.com/seedcase-project/check-datapackage"

You can check that check-datapackage has been installed correctly by running this command:

Terminal

uv pip show check-datapackage

If check-datapackage has been installed successfully, the output will show details about check-datapackage.
