How to install poetry

Poetry is dependency and packaging manager for Python projects. The codebase is maintained by its own authors rather than by a vendor.

About the project

Poetry is dependency and packaging manager for Python projects. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

Governance sits with the project's own team. They decide what ships, how often it ships, and which platforms are supported.

How releases reach a machine

Distribution depends on the project. Common routes include the system package index, a language registry, a version manager, or a source build described in the project documentation.

Check compatibility first

Confirm the platform is supported by the current release. Tooling in this space moves quickly, and an older system often falls outside the supported range.

Once it is in place

Most surprises here come down to path ordering or to two copies being present at once. Checking which one resolves first usually explains the difference.
