Installation

pipx (recommended)BinaryFrom source

pipx installs idftool into its own environment and puts it on your PATH:

pipx install idftool

Install pipx first if you don't have it:

Platform	Command
macOS	brew install pipx
Windows	winget install python.pipx
Linux / other	pip install pipx

Without Python, download a pre-built binary from the Releases page.

Tip

Prefer the -dir archive over the single-file download. It starts instantly, where the single file unpacks itself on every run.

git clone https://github.com/nebkat/idftool
cd idftool
make install

This builds a standalone binary into ~/.local/share/idftool and links it from ~/.local/bin/idftool. See Contributing.

Check it works:

idftool --help
