Installation

Install GrowToward

Set up Python, install the GrowToward package, activate the gt command if your shell needs it, and confirm the CLI is ready to use.

1. Open a shell

Start in the shell application that comes with your computer so you can run Python and GrowToward commands directly.

On macOS, open Terminal from Applications/Utilities or Applications. Keeping it in the Dock makes it easier to reopen later.
On Windows, open Command Prompt.

Download and install the latest Python release from python.org before installing GrowToward.

A current Python install ensures the pip, pip3, and/or py launchers are available, depending on your platform.

Install the package with the Python package manager available in your shell.

pip install growtoward
pip3 install growtoward

After installation, run gt --help to confirm the command is available. If the command is not recognized, update your shell path and try again.

If GrowToward installed successfully but gt is not available yet, run the path helper that matches your environment.

growtoward.gt_path --add-user-path
python3 -m growtoward.gt_path --add-user-path
py -m growtoward.gt_path --add-user-path

Close the shell and open it again after updating your user path so the new command location is picked up.

Run the help command once more after reopening the shell.

gt --help

If the help text appears, GrowToward is installed and ready to use.

If you do not have a GrowToward account yet, run gt signup or create an account in your browser.
