Installation

Caution

Although this package is installable on Windows platforms, the pairity of commandio’s utilities is not one-to-one in comparision to UNIX platforms.

This is becuase shlex (one of commandio’s dependencies) is primarily designed for UNIX shells, and thus is not guaranteed to be safe (i.e. prevent/mitigate command injection vulnerabilities) on non-POSIX compliant shells (e.g. Windows).

Use this package with caution on Windows platforms.

Using `pip`

The commandio package can be installed via pip using the command:

pip install commandio [--user]

The command line flag --user may need to be included depending on one’s level of access on the intended device.

Git submodule

Should one wish to use this package in a python project, and do not wish to install commandio, then following could also be done:

git submodule add https://github.com/AdebayoBraimah/commandio.git

Warning

The above approach is not recommend because:

It assumes that the project is also a git repository.
The import path of commandio’s modules will be slightly different if not setup from pip.
