These days they are\nbeing distributed as packages to be installed with pip. While the installation\nof those projects (like [localtunnel](/home/sharat/.pip-apps/manifest/nvpy),\n[nvpy](/home/sharat/.pip-apps/manifest/nvpy)) says, `pip install nvpy`, its not\nalways that simple. I don't want to install the app and all its dependencies in\nthe system python. I want it to have its own virtualenv.\n\nSo, I create a virtualenv and install this app, it creates an executable, used\nto run the app. But, as you might have guessed, everytime I need to run the app,\nI have to first switch to this virtualenv. This just plain sucks.\n\nEnter *pip-app*. Install an app with\n\n    pip-app nvpy\n\nIt will create its own virtualenv and install itself in it. For every executable\nintroduced by this app, it creates an executable that will load the correct\nvirtualenv and launch the correct app, in a way that just bloody works.\n\nAnd to uninstall,\n\n    pip-unapp nvpy\n\n# Installation\n\n## Antigen\n\nIf you use [Antigen](https://github.com/zsh-users/antigen), add the following\ncommand to your .zshrc with your other antigen bundle commands.\n\n    antigen bundle sharat87/pip-app\n\n## Zgen\n\nIf you use [Zgen](https://github.com/tarjoilija/zgen), add\n\n    zgen load sharat87/pip-app\n\nto your .zshrc along with your other zgen load commands.\n\n## Without a Framework\n\nIf you aren't using a framework, just clone this repo or just download the\n*pip-app.sh* file and add a source line to your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` or\nwhatever is your shell's equivalent.\n\n    source /path/to/pip-app.sh\n\nYou should have the `pip-app` and `pip-unapp` functions available now.\n\n# Meta\n\nThis thing is licensed with [MIT License](http://mitl.sharats.me).
