Tools

Rye supports global tool installations. This for instance allows you to install tools like black or ruff globally.

Installing Tools

Use the rye tools install (aliased to rye install) command to install a tool globally with a shim:

bash

rye install ruff

Afterwards the tool is installed into ~/.rye/tools/ruff and the necessary shims are placed in ~/.rye/shims.

+/- 0.4.0

The `install` command now considers custom sources configured
in the `config.toml` file.  For more information see [Dependency Sources](sources.md).

Extra Requirements

Some tools do not declare all of their dependencies since they might be optional. In some cases these can be declared by passing extra features to the installer:

bash

rye install black --features colorama

If dependencies are not at all specified, then they can be provided with --extra-requirement. This is particularly sometimes necessary if the tool uses pkg_resources (part of setuptools) but forgets to declare that dependency:

bash

rye install gradio --extra-requirement setuptools

Listing Tools

If you want to see which tools are installed, you can use rye tools list:

rye tools list

black
  black
  blackd
ruff
  ruff

To also see which scripts those tools provide, also pass --include-scripts

rye tools list --include-scripts

Uninstalling Tools

To uninstall a tool again, use rye tools uninstall (aliased to rye uninstall):

rye uninstall black
