Python Poetry Installer

This repository contains Poetry's official installation script, installer source and related hosting configuration.

The script is hosted on Vercel and made available at https://install.python-poetry.org/.

Usage

Poetry provides a custom installer that will install poetry isolated from the rest of your system.

osx / linux / bashonwindows / Windows+MinGW install instructions

curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -

windows powershell install instructions

(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://install.python-poetry.org -UseBasicParsing).Content | py -

If you have installed Python through the Microsoft Store, replace py with python in the command above.

Warning: The previous get-poetry.py installer is now deprecated, if you are currently using it you should migrate to the new, supported, install.python-poetry.org installer.

The installer installs the poetry tool to Poetry's bin directory. This location depends on your system:

$HOME/.local/bin for Unix
%APPDATA%\Python\Scripts on Windows

If this directory is not on your PATH, you will need to add it manually if you want to invoke Poetry with simply poetry.

Alternatively, you can use the full path to poetry to use it.

Once Poetry is installed you can execute the following:

poetry --version

If you see something like Poetry (version 1.2.0) then you are ready to use Poetry. If you decide Poetry isn't your thing, you can completely remove it from your system by running the installer again with the --uninstall option or by setting the POETRY_UNINSTALL environment variable before executing the installer:

curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 - --uninstall
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | POETRY_UNINSTALL=1 python3 -

By default, Poetry is installed into the user's platform-specific home directory. If you wish to change this, you may define the POETRY_HOME environment variable:

curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | POETRY_HOME=/etc/poetry python3 -

If you want to install prerelease versions, you can do so by passing --preview option or by using the POETRY_PREVIEW environment variable:

curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 - --preview
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | POETRY_PREVIEW=1 python3 -

Similarly, if you want to install a specific version, you can use --version option or the POETRY_VERSION environment variable:

curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 - --version 1.2.0
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | POETRY_VERSION=1.2.0 python3 -

You can also install Poetry for a git repository by using the --git option:

curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 - --git https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry.git@master

Note

: The installer does not support Python < 3.6.

Known Issues

Debian/Ubuntu

On Debian and Ubuntu systems, there are various issues that maybe caused due to how various Python standard library components are packaged and configured. The following details issues we are presently aware of, and potential workarounds.

Note: This can also affect WSL users on Windows.

Installation Layout

If you encounter an error similar to the following, this might be due to pypa/virtualenv#2350.

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/root/.local/share/pypoetry/venv/bin/python'

You can work around this issue by setting the DEB_PYTHON_INSTALL_LAYOUT environment variable to deb in order to emulate previously working behaviour.

export DEB_PYTHON_INSTALL_LAYOUT=deb

Missing `distutils` Module

In certain Debian/Ubuntu environments, you might encounter the following error message in error logs (poetry-installer-error-*.log) provided when the installer fails.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.cmd'

This is probably due to this bug. See also pypa/get-pip#124.

The known workaround for this issue is to reinstall the distutils package provided by the distribution.

apt-get install --reinstall python3-distutils

If you have installed a specific python version, eg: 3.10, you might have to use the package name python3.10-distutils.
