🧭 Installation

First, it is strongly recommended you install the uv package manager: this is a simple, documented process. If you're already using uv, make sure you're using at least version v0.9.9 (run uv --version to check, and uv self update to upgrade).

You can install usethis directly into the project environment:

# With uv
$ uv add --dev usethis

# With pip
$ pip install usethis

Alternatively, you can also run usethis commands in isolation, using uvx or pipx. For example, to add Ruff to the project:

# With uv
$ uvx usethis tool ruff

# With pipx
$ pipx run usethis tool ruff
