Then, check out the first steps or read on for a brief overview.
Tip
uv may also be installed with pip, Homebrew, and more. See all of the methods on the installation page.
Projectsuv manages project dependencies and environments, with support for lockfiles, workspaces, and more, similar to rye
or poetry
:
$ uv init example
Initialized project `example` at `/home/user/example`
$ cd example
$ uv add ruff

See the project guide to get started.
uv also supports building and publishing projects, even if they're not managed with uv. See the packaging guide to learn more.
Scriptsuv manages dependencies and environments for single-file scripts.
Create a new script and add inline metadata declaring its dependencies:
$ echo 'import requests; print(requests.get("https://astral.sh"))' > example.py
$ uv add --script example.py requests
Updated `example.py`
Then, run the script in an isolated virtual environment:
$ uv run example.py
Reading inline script metadata from: example.py

.
Run a tool in an ephemeral environment using uvx
(an alias for uv tool run
):
$ uvx pycowsay 'hello world!'
