Python Installation with pip

Marmite can now be installed directly from Python's package index using pip! This makes it incredibly easy to get started with marmite, especially if you're already working in a Python environment.

Installation

Simply run:

pip install marmite

This will install the marmite binary and make it available in your system PATH.

Quick Start with uvx (Recommended)

For one-time usage or testing, you can use uvx to run marmite without installing it:

uvx marmite myblog --init-site
uvx marmite myblog --serve --watch

Or if you prefer to work from inside the directory:

uvx marmite myblog --init-site
cd myblog
uvx marmite . --serve --watch

How It Works

The Python package includes:

• The compiled Rust binary for your platform
• A Python wrapper that forwards commands to the native binary
• Cross-platform compatibility for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Usage

After installation, you can use marmite just like any other command-line tool:

# Create a new site
marmite myblog --init-site

# Build your site
marmite myblog

# Serve with live reload
marmite myblog --serve --watch

Or working from inside the site directory:

marmite myblog --init-site
cd myblog
marmite . --serve --watch
