Install on Linux

In this how-to guide you will install the latest stable version of this project on Linux.

The best way to install this project is using pipx as it decouples each program from the other ones. First ensure that you have it installed by running the command applicable to your Linux distribution:

Distribution	Command
Ubuntu, Debian	sudo apt install pipx
Fedora, RedHat	sudo dnf install pipx
Arch, Manjaro	sudo pacman -Syu python-pipx

Then, using pipx, you install the latest version using this command:

pipx install geo-activity-playground

Testing whether it works

Next you can try to start the program to see whether the installation has worked correctly by just entering the following into the terminal:

geo-activity-playground --help

Does this work? Good! Then move on to create a base directory.

If you get an error that reads like “command not found”, then you need to add local bin to PATH.

Installing updates

At some later point you likely want to upgrade to the latest version. For this use the following command:

pipx upgrade --pip-args "--upgrade-strategy eager" geo-activity-playground
