The fastest way - works on any machine with Node.js installed. Automatically installs Python dependencies.

bash copy
npm install -g kemlang-py

Verify it worked:

bash copy
kem version

KemLang 0.1.3

Install via pip

If you already have Python 3.10+ and prefer pip:

Verify:

bash copy
kem version

Install from source

For contributors or if you want the latest unreleased changes:

bash copy
git clone https://github.com/sanketmuchhala/kemlang-py

pip install -e .

The -e flag installs in editable mode - changes to the source are reflected immediately without reinstalling.

Troubleshooting

“kem: command not found”

• ›npm - Run npm bin -g to find the global bin path and add it to your PATH.
• ›pip - Run python -m site --user-base to find the user base, then add /bin to PATH.
• ›Windows - Restart your terminal - PATH changes take effect on new sessions.
