# Installation

## Dependencies

This script depends on the [pyenv-win](https://github.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win) so it needs to be installed system to run this script.

## Power Shell

```
Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win-venv/main/bin/install-pyenv-win-venv.ps1" -OutFile "$HOME\install-pyenv-win-venv.ps1";
&"$HOME\install-pyenv-win-venv.ps1"
```

**Note:** Skip the [Add System Settings](#add-system-settings) Section

## Git

```
git clone https://github.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win-venv "$HOME\.pyenv-win-venv"
```

You need to add the `\bin` path to your environment variables using the following steps.

### Add System Settings

Adding the following paths to your USER PATH variable in order to access the pyenv-win-venv command

```pwsh
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('path', $env:USERPROFILE + "\.pyenv-win-venv\bin;" + [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('path', "User"),"User")
```

# Update

Automatically using `pyenv-venv update self` (Recommended)

## Git (If the CLI was installed using Git)

Using `git pull`:

Go to `%USERPROFILE%\.pyenv-win-venv` (which is your installed path) and run `git pull`

## Power Shell (If the CLI was installed using the PowerScript Installation Script)

```
Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win-venv/main/bin/install-pyenv-win-venv.ps1" -OutFile "$HOME\install-pyenv-win-venv.ps1"; &"$HOME\install-pyenv-win-venv.ps1"
```

# Uninstallation

## CLI

```
pyenv-venv uninstall self
```

## Power Shell

```
Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win-venv/main/bin/install-pyenv-win-venv.ps1" -OutFile "$HOME\install-pyenv-win-venv.ps1";
&"$HOME\install-pyenv-win-venv.ps1" -Uninstall
```

Usage: pyenv-win-venv

A CLI to manage virtual envs with pyenv-win

Commands:
init search for .python-version file in the
current directory and activate the env
activate activate an env
deactivate deactivate an env
install install an env
uninstall uninstall an env
uninstall self uninstall the CLI and its envs
list list all installed envs/python versions
local set the given env in .python-version file
config show the app directory
update self update the CLI to the latest version
which show the full path to an executable
help show the CLI/ menu

Flags:
debug To show debug log
```

**Note:** `pyenv-venv` is an alias for `pyenv-win-venv` so either one can be used to call the CLI.

# Example

- To install an env using Python v3.8.5 (should be already installed in the system using `pyenv install 3.8.5`)

```
pyenv-venv install 3.8.5 env_name
```

- To uninstall an env

```
pyenv-venv uninstall env_name
```

- To activate an env

```
pyenv-venv activate env_name
```

- To deactivate an env

```
pyenv-venv deactivate
```

- To list all installed envs

```
pyenv-venv list envs
```

- To list all installed python versions

```
pyenv-venv list python
```

- To set an env to the `.python-version` file

```
pyenv-venv local env_name
```

- To show the app directory

```
pyenv-venv config
```

- To update the CLI to the latest version

```
pyenv-venv update self
```

- To show the full path to the executable

```
pyenv-venv which
```

- To get help for each command

```
pyenv-venv help install
```

# Note

## Env automatic activation using `.python-version` file

- You can set the env for a directory using a `.python-version`
file and the CLI can automatically activate the env if a shell is
opened in that directory.

- `.python-version` file: It should only contain the name of the env and can be created by manually or by using the command: `pyenv-venv local env_name`

- You can manually activate the env if the directory has a `.python-version` file by calling `pyenv-venv init`

- To enable the automatic feature, you need to add `pyenv-venv init` to your the PowerShell Profile.
Steps to do this:

- First check if you already have a powershell profile.

```
Test-Path $profile
```

If its `False`, then you need to create a new profile.

- Create a new profile using:

```
New-Item -path $profile -type file –force
```

The location to the profile will be shown on the shell.

- Open the `profile.ps1` file and append the following line.

```
pyenv-venv init
```

Save and restart the shell.

**Note:** If you want the CLI to search for a `.python-version` file by traversing from the current working directory to the root till it finds the file, use `pyenv-venv init root`
