Installation

To install Calkit, Git and Python must be installed. If you want to use Docker containers, which is typically a good idea, that should also be installed. For Python, we recommend uv.

With uv installed, install Calkit with:

uv tool install calkit-python

Alternatively, but less ideally, you can install with your system Python:

pip install calkit-python

For Windows users, the Calkit Assistant app is the easiest way to get everything set up and ready to work in VS Code, which can then be used as the primary app for working on all scientific or analytical computing projects.
