How to install cookiecutter

Cookiecutter is a developer utility. Development happens publicly, and releases are published by the project maintainers.

About the project

Cookiecutter is developer utility. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

The project is run by its own contributors rather than by a company. Release cadence, supported platforms and documentation are all decided by the team behind it.

How projects are distributed

There is no single universal route here. Maintainers usually describe the supported options themselves, and the choice varies between platforms and between releases.

Check compatibility first

Check platform requirements first. Recent releases usually need a current runtime and a reasonably modern system.

Afterwards

If the outcome differs from what you expected, the cause is nearly always resolution rather than the project itself — an older copy, a different channel, or a stale cache.
