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
