Since releases aren't exactly happening on a regular schedule, you are
encouraged to use the latest code. ``webassets`` is pretty well tested,
so as long as the build status icon above remains a reassuring green,
you shouldn't run into any trouble.
You can `download a tarball`__ of the development version, or
install it via ``pip install webassets==dev``.
Development:
For development, to run all the tests, you need to have at least Java 7
installed (required for example to run the Google closure_ filter).
1. Install Python requirements with uv::
$ uv venv
$ uv pip install -r uv.lock
2. Install other requirements::
$ ./requirements-dev.sh
3. Run the tests::
./run_tests.sh
