Standalone Script

Normally, verchew is installed using pip, but given the variety of environments in which this program is run, you might be in a situation where pip:

  • is not installed
  • does not have the correct permissions to install verchew
  • does not have network access to PyPI

For this reason, verchew can also be embedded into your project as a standalone Python script.

Setup

Create a bin/ directory in your project:

$ mkdir -p bin

Download the standalone script:

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jacebrowning/verchew/master/verchew/script.py
$ mv script.py bin/verchew

Ensure the script has executable permissions:

$ chmod a+x bin/verchew

Usage

To check the versions of your system dependencies simply run:

$ bin/verchew

An example of a project configured this way can be found here.
