Installation#
To install pixel_forge, you can use pip:
pip install pixel_forge
This will install the Python package with the precompiled library without requiring Rust to be installed on your system.
Warning
pixel_forge is currently only available for Windows!
Building from Source#
Alternatively, you can build the package from source by cloning the repository and compile it with pip:
Note
This step requires Rust to be installed on your system.
git clone https://github.com/amacati/pixel_forge
cd pixel_forge
pip install .
If you just want to compile the Rust package without directly installing it in Python, you can use Rust’s Cargo:
git clone https://github.com/amacati/pixel_forge
cd pixel_forge
cargo build --release
