Installation¶
a3m is available in PyPI, a software repository for Python projects:
pip install a3m
We also publish a Docker image that bundles all software dependencies that a3m needs for a good out-of-box experience. This image is public and can be pulled from the command line with:
docker pull ghcr.io/artefactual-labs/a3m:latest
If you don’t want to use Docker, it is still possible to run a3m successfully as long as the software dependencies are provided in some other way. Please continue reading.
Dependencies¶
We don’t have a comprehensive list of software dependencies yet or mechanisms to manage them dynamically. For the time being, here are some examples valid for an Ubuntu/Debian Linux environment:
