Quickstart Client Developer Installation

Step 0: Open your terminal to the root of this Github repository

Begin by opening your terminal and navigating to the root directory of this github repository (so when you run 'ls' it should show folders like "syftbox", "server", "tests", etc.). Then run the commands in steps 1-4:

Step 1: Install Homebrew

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Step 2: Install uv (using homebrew — which is better for this than pip)

brew install uv

Step 3: Install a virtual environment using uv

uv venv

Step 4: Install a relative version of uv.

uv pip install -e .

Step 5: Run the client

uv run syftbox/client/client.py
