Install on macOS

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

I don't have a Mac myself, hence I cannot test whether this guide works. Please be so kind and give feedback if it doesn't work.

Installing uv

As a next step, install uv. If you prefer Homebrew, you can use brew install uv. Otherwise, use the official installer:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
uv tool update-shell

uv tool update-shell ensures the user-local executable directory (usually ~/.local/bin) is available on your PATH.

Installation via uv tool

Now you have uv available and can install the project with this:

uv tool 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:

uv tool upgrade geo-activity-playground
