Installer

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.exe from the GitHub releases page and run it:

.\pimp.exe

Or move it to a folder in your $PATH.

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
.\venv\bin\activate.exe
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.exe 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

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

Try running:

pimp
