Installation

From PyPI (Recommended)

Install taut with pip: (WIP)

pip install taut

This gives you both: - The taut command-line tool - The Python decorators (@skip, @mark, @parallel)

Verify the installation:

taut --version

From Source

If you want to build from source, you'll need Rust and maturin.

Prerequisites

Install Rust using rustup:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Install maturin:

uv tool install maturin 

Build and Install

Clone and build:

git clone https://github.com/JasonLovesDoggo/taut
cd taut
maturin develop --release

This builds the Rust code and installs taut in your current Python environment.

Development Mode

For development:

maturin develop

Verify Installation

# Check CLI
taut --version

# Check Python imports
python -c "from taut import skip, mark, parallel; print('OK')"

System Requirements

• Python: 3.12 or later

Standalone Binary

If you only need the CLI (no Python decorators), you can build a standalone binary:

git clone https://github.com/JasonLovesDoggo/taut
cd taut
cargo build --release

The binary will be at target/release/taut. Add it to your PATH:

# Option 1: Add to PATH
export PATH="$PATH:$(pwd)/target/release"

# Option 2: Copy to /usr/local/bin
sudo cp target/release/taut /usr/local/bin/
