Installation

Requirements

You can install bbbdl on any computer with the following software already installed:

• Python 3.11+

• ffmpeg

Installing bbbdl

bbbdl is distributed through PyPI, the Python Package Index.

Using pipx

The easiest way to install bbbdl, but requires pipx to be installed separately.

Run the following command in a terminal or command prompt:

pipx install bbbdl

This will install bbbdl for the current user in an isolated environment so that the dependencies don’t conflict with other software already on your system.

Using pip and venv

If pipx is not available, you can manually install bbbdl in a virtual environment (venv).

First, create a venv:

python -m venv venv

Then, enter the venv:

# Assuming you're using Linux and bash
source venv/bin/activate

While inside the venv, install bbbdl with pip:

pip install bbbdl

Done! Remember that, if you install bbbdl using this method, you’ll need to have entered the venv in that terminal session to use bbbdl!
