Installation

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• pip (or any Python package manager)

Install

pip install stato

Dependencies

Stato has four runtime dependencies, all well-known and lightweight:

Package	Purpose
click	CLI framework
rich	Terminal formatting (tables, panels, colors)
tomli	TOML reading (manifest files)
tomli-w	TOML writing (manifest files)

No database drivers, no cloud SDKs, no network libraries.

Verify Installation

stato --version

You should see the current version number printed to the terminal.

Optional: Editable Install (Development)

If you want to develop stato itself:

git clone https://github.com/genecell/stato.git
cd stato
pip install -e ".[dev]"

This installs stato in editable mode with development dependencies (pytest, etc.).

Next Steps

Once installed, head to Quick Start to initialize your first project.
