# Overview
**toppra** is a library for computing the time-optimal path
parametrization for robots subject to kinematic and dynamic
constraints. In general, given the inputs:
1. a geometric path `p(s)`, `s` in `[0, s_end]`;
2. a list of constraints on joint velocity, joint accelerations, tool
Cartesian velocity, et cetera.
**toppra** returns the time-optimal path parameterization: `s_dot
(s)`, from which the fastest trajectory `q(t)` that satisfies the
given constraints can be found.
**Documentation and tutorials** are available
[here](https://hungpham2511.github.io/toppra/index.html).
You can install the package with pip:
``` shell
pip install toppra
```
To install from source for development:
``` shell
pip install -r requirement3.txt
pip install -e .
```
