Why Dynamic-cli?

The Command Line Utility

Although the Stackoverflow website is really cool, it can be tough to remember the same question that you faced earlier :

• Countless answers, you can save it to playbook
• Toggle between multiple answers is easy
• Are you a developer ? Integrate your own feature and install it

Installation

Pip Installation

dynamic-cli is hosted on PyPI. The following command will install Dynamic-cli:

pip3 install dynamic-cli

You can also install the latest dynamic-cli from GitHub source which can contain changes not yet pushed to PyPI:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/IndianOpenSourceFoundation/dynamic-cli.git

If you are not installing in a virtualenv, you might need to run with sudo:

sudo pip3 install dynamic-cli

pip3

Depending on your setup, you might also want to run pip3 with the -H flag:

sudo -H pip3 install dynamic-cli

For most linux users, pip3 can be installed on your system using the python3-pip package.

For example, Ubuntu users can run:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Virtual Environment Installation

You can install Python packages in a virtualenv to avoid potential issues with dependencies or permissions.

If you are a Windows user or if you would like more details on virtualenv, check out this guide.

Install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper:

pip3 install virtualenv
pip3 install virtualenvwrapper
export WORKON_HOME=~/.virtualenvs
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

Create a dynamic-cli virtualenv and install dynamic-cli:

mkvirtualenv dynamic-cli
pip3 install dynamic-cli

If the pip install does not work, you might be running Python 2 by default. Check what version of Python you are running:

python --version

If the call above results in Python 2, find the path for Python 3:

which python3  # Python 3 path for mkvirtualenv's --python option

Install Python 3 if needed. Set the Python version when calling mkvirtualenv:

mkvirtualenv --python [Python 3 path from above] dynamic-cli
pip3 install dynamic-cli

If you want to activate the dynamic-cli virtualenv again later, run:

workon dynamic-cli

To deactivate the dynamic-cli virtualenv, run:

deactivate
