Getting started#
menuinst
can be used to create shortcuts or menu items across operating systems.
It’s designed to integrate nicely with conda
packages,
but it can be used without it to an extent via its CLI and Python API (see below).
Installation#
menuinst
is usually installed along with conda
in the base
environment.
So, in most cases, you won’t have to do much. For other environments, you can do:
$ conda install "menuinst>=2"
Usage#
As an API#
The menuinst
package can be used as an API:
from menuinst.api import install
install("path/to/menu.json")
Or from the terminal:
$ python -c "from menuinst.api import install; install('path/to/menu.json')"
