Poetry

To install Poetry, you call follow the official installation instructions.

I'll copy some of that over here for convinience. But keep it mind this may have changed since copying this.

For Windows​

The following instruction are for windows users not using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Using powershell, run the following command:

(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://install.python-poetry.org -UseBasicParsing).Content | py -
: Note

If you have installed Python through the Microsoft Store, replace py with python in the command above.

The installer may take care of the following step, but if after you restarted your terminal were still unable to envoke poetry, you'll need to add poetry to your PATH environment variable. the path you need to add to your env. variables is %APPDATA%\Python\Scripts on Windows.

For Linux, macOS, and Windows with WSL​

Using your terminal of choice, run the following command:

curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -

you may be able to run this with just python instead of python3 depending on your system. but some systems still assumes python 2 when you call python so it's best to be explicit.

The installer may take care of the following step, but if after you restarted your terminal were still unable to envoke poetry, you'll need to add poetry to your PATH environment variable. the path you need to add to your env. variables is $HOME/.local/bin on Linux and macOS.

Verifying the installation​

To make sure you've installed poetry correctly, run the following command:

poetry --version

The results of this is the screenshot you'll need to provide.
