Development tools

There are different ways to contribute to the project. For example, with just a browser, one can create issues on our Gitlab projects (see https://foss.heptapod.net/py-edu-fr) or even submit merge requests via the web interface (see Heptapod and Mercurial).

However, to get and use our repositories locally on your computer, one needs:

• UV

  The installation instructions can be found here: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/#installation.

• Mercurial

  The easiest method to get a correct setup is to install will UV. Please read Heptapod and Mercurial and follow the advices!

• PDM

  Since you already have UV, it seems reasonable to install PDM with

  uv tool install pdm
  

Once the following commands work fine, you should be ready to use our repositories and contribute.

uv --version
pdm --version
hg version -v
hg help topic

Note

The program make is also used as an helper to run slightly complicated commands but it is not mandatory.
