Installation¶

To render the template, you only need a functional Copier installation.

Copier¶

It’s recommended to install Copier globally using either uv or pipx:

uv tool install --python 3.10 --with copier-templates-extensions 'copier>=9.3'

pipx

pipx install 'copier>=9.3' && \
 pipx inject copier copier-templates-extensions

pip

Alternatively, you can install Copier with pip, preferably inside a virtual environment:

python -m pip install 'copier>=9.3' copier-templates-extensions

Note

The copier virtual environment should be based on the Python version (MAJOR.MINOR) listed here, at the time of writing Python 3.10. Other versions - especially higher ones - should work, but the template’s CI tests only verify the mentioned version.

Important

This template includes custom Jinja extensions, so ensure that copier-templates-extensions is installed in the same environment as copier. The example commands above handle this.
