# uv (Python Package Manager)
`uv` is a fast Python package manager used by Science Skills to run their Python
CLI scripts. Many skills depend on `uv` being installed and on PATH.
Ensure `uv` is available before running any skill that depends on it.
## Setup
1. Check if `uv` is already available: `uv --version` If this succeeds, `uv` is
ready — skip the remaining steps.
2. Check whether `uv` is installed at its default location but not on PATH:
`"$HOME/.local/bin/uv" --version` If this succeeds, skip to step 4.
3. If uv is not installed do both these steps in order:
(a) Tell the user that uv is a tool for creating a consistent and reliable
Python environment used for running the Science Skills, and that you
need to install it now.
(b) Install `uv`: `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh`
4. Add `uv` to PATH and verify (run as a single command): `export
PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" && uv --version`
After setup, bare `uv` commands should work without repeating the export.
