Arch Linux / Manjaro

Use your favorite AUR helper (e.g., yay, paru) to install:

Stable version:

yay -S pimpmyrice

Development version:

yay -S pimpmyrice-git

Add the PPA and install:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:daddodev/pimpmyrice
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pimpmyrice

Download the latest .deb from the GitHub releases page and install it:

sudo apt install ./pimpmyrice_*.deb

Enable the COPR repository and install:

sudo dnf copr enable daddodev/pimpmyrice
sudo dnf install pimpmyrice

Download the latest .rpm from the GitHub releases page and install it:

sudo dnf install ./pimpmyrice_*.rpm

System-wide: Add to your flake inputs:

inputs = {
  ...
  pimpmyrice.url = "github:daddodev/pimpmyrice";
};

Then use it in your outputs as needed.

Using nix run:

nix run github:daddodev/pimpmyrice

PimpMyRice is available on PyPI, so you can install it with pipx:

pipx install pimpmyrice

This installs PimpMyRice in an isolated environment, avoiding interference with your system Python.

Note: This method may introduce slightly slower startup times due to how it wraps execution.

Download the latest pimp from the GitHub releases page and run it:

chmod +x ./pimp
./pimp

Or move it to a folder in your $PATH:

mv ./pimp ~/.local/bin/

Note: Startup time might be slightly slower due to how the binary wraps execution.

You can also install PimpMyRice using pip. It’s recommended to do this in a virtual environment to avoid polluting your global Python environment:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install pimpmyrice
pimp

This method gives you a fully controlled and self-contained Python environment.

Note: You’ll need to activate the virtual environment each time you use pimp, or use venv/bin/pimp directly.

You can install it system-wide with pip, though this is not recommended unless you understand the implications for system Python:

pip install --user pimpmyrice

Or, with elevated privileges:

sudo pip install pimpmyrice

Warning: Installing packages system-wide can conflict with system tools or other Python packages.

Try running:

pimp
