'''`pipx(1)`''' is a package management toolchain for Python, modeled after the [[Node]] toolchain. It wraps [[Python/Pip|pip]] and [[Python/Venv|venv]].

<<TableOfContents>>

----



== Installation ==

Install `pipx` using [[Python/Pip|pip]].

----



== Usage ==

For most use cases, simply replace `pip` with `pipx` in any command.

Packages installed this way are created as [[Python/Venv|virtual environments]] under `~/.local/pipx`.

If a package has correctly defined [[Python/SetupFiles|entry points]], executable scripts are created as symlinks under `~/.local/bin` into those virtual environments.



=== Configuration ===

To adjust the location of `pipx(1)`-managed files, try:

{{{
export PIPX_HOME=~/.local/pipx
export PIPX_BIN_DIR=~/.local/bin
}}}
