Using local build 🪵

Install local build directly

1. Build the project

   $ poetry build
   Building kalimba (<version>)
    ...
    - Built kalimba-<version>-.tar.gz
    ...

2. Check build results:

   $ ls ./dist
   ...
   kalimba-<version>-.tar.gz
   ...

3. Install the local tar file:

   Don't forget to replace the <version> to the built result. 💡

   $ pip install --user ./dist/kalimba-<version>-.tar.gz
   ...
   Successfully installed ... kalimba-<version> ...

   docker run --rm -p 80:8080 pypiserver/pypiserver:latest run -P . -a . -vvv

2. Configure poetry:

   If you would like to use a remotely deployed one, feel free to adjust the pypiserver URLs here and further. 🔁

   $ poetry build
   Building kalimba (<version>)
    ...
