Installation
Installation on Linux is recommended, but it is also known to work on Windows and macOS.
Requirements:
- Python 3, or a Python distribution such as Anaconda
To install ds-format and dependencies:
pip3 install ds-format==3.1.0
If installing as a non-root user on Linux, you might have to add
$HOME/.local/bin to the PATH environment variable in ~/.profile (or an
equivalent configuration file) in order to be able to run the ds command,
and $HOME/.local/share/man to MANPATH in order to have access to the manual
pages.
