Platform Installation

The PyVax transpiler fundamentally operates using Python's native AST parser wrapped tightly against standard NPM modules. It expects modern NodeJS runtimes and an active Python environment.

macOS/Linux (Recommended)

NodeJS 18+ is required to execute the CLI bundle without any configuration headaches. Using npm -g guarantees global accessibility across terminal instances.

npm install -g @pyvax/cli

# Run an environment diagnostic to confirm the CLI is registered.
pyvax doctor

Windows Users

We aggressively recommend WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux). Native Windows CMD or Powershell instances occasionally struggle with path-level module bindings for nested EVM dependencies.

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt install nodejs npm

npm install -g @pyvax/cli

Validate Configuration

Once your download has finished compiling local dependency graphs, you can ping your local machine to make sure it establishes connections against the default Avalanche routing endpoints:

pyvax --version
