Installation

Quick install commands

Use your preferred package manager to add dartpy to an existing environment:

uv add dartpy                 # uv (recommended for Python-first projects)
pip install dartpy --pre      # PyPI wheels (Linux x86_64, CPython 3.12–3.14)
pixi add dartpy               # Pixi environment
conda install -c conda-forge dartpy

Supported platforms

Pre-built wheels on PyPI currently cover the following configurations:

Platform / Python	Status
Linux x86_64 / CPython 3.12–3.14	✅ Published as `dartpy` wheels (7.0.0.dev0, `pip install --pre`)
Other CPython versions and platforms	⚠️ Use conda-forge, pixi, or build from source (no recent wheels yet)

Note

The latest PyPI upload is a pre-release (7.0.0.dev0). Use the --pre flag with pip if you want that build; otherwise pip falls back to the last stable 0.2.x wheel. For the most up-to-date availability, check the dartpy project page on PyPI.

Building from source

If you need a configuration that is not covered by the pre-built packages, build the Python bindings locally by following the instructions in Python API Reference or the developer knowledge base. Building requires a full DART build with the nanobind-based dartpy target enabled and a matching Python toolchain.
