Installation

Pretorin CLI requires Python 3.10 or later.

Recommended: uv

uv installs the CLI as an isolated tool with its own dependencies:

uv tool install pretorin

pip install pretorin

pipx provides isolated installation similar to uv:

pipx install pretorin

A Dockerfile and Docker Compose configuration are included in the repository:

git clone https://github.com/pretorin-ai/pretorin-cli.git
cd pretorin-cli
docker compose up

pretorin version

Expected output:

pretorin version 0.8.1

Check for and install the latest version:

pretorin update

The CLI also checks for updates automatically on startup and notifies you when a new version is available. To disable passive update notifications:

export PRETORIN_DISABLE_UPDATE_CHECK=1
# or
pretorin config set disable_update_check true

For contributing to Pretorin CLI:

git clone https://github.com/pretorin-ai/pretorin-cli.git
cd pretorin-cli
uv pip install -e ".[dev]"

This installs the package in editable mode with development dependencies (pytest, ruff, mypy, etc.).
