Install and Upgrade the CLI

The biosimulant package on PyPI is the canonical CLI distribution.

Recommended: pipx

pipx keeps command-line applications isolated while exposing their commands on your PATH.

pipx install biosimulant
biosimulant --version

Upgrade in place:

pipx upgrade biosimulant

Install an exact release:

pipx install "biosimulant==0.0.22"

Alternative: uv

uv tool install biosimulant
uv tool upgrade biosimulant

Pin an exact release with:

uv tool install "biosimulant==0.0.22"

Project or CI environment

For a virtual environment or locked CI job:

python -m pip install "biosimulant==0.0.22"
python -m biosimulant --version

Avoid an unpinned install in reproducible CI workflows.

Desktop

Desktop contains the exact wheel and dependency lock tested with that Desktop release. Use Settings > CLI Tools to provision or repair the managed package and shell launcher.

Cloud Studio

Cloud Studio workspaces already contain the CLI. Do not reinstall it inside a workspace unless a support procedure explicitly asks you to do so.

biosimulant --version
biosimulant doctor

Shell completion

For bash:

register-python-argcomplete biosimulant >> ~/.bash_completion

For zsh:

autoload -U bashcompinit
bashcompinit
eval "$(register-python-argcomplete biosimulant)"
