Get MCPL

The easiest way to install MCPL is via the prebuilt Python or Conda packages. The package named mcpl provides both command-line tools, and API’s for C/C++, Python, and CMake configuration.

Additionally, the package named mcpl-extra provides (as the name indicates) extra optional utilities such as optional converters between MCPL and other file formats.

Install via Python tools

Complete MCPL packages are provided as wheels on PyPI, and installation is as simple as:

pip install mcpl mcpl-extra

As noted above, the mcpl-extra package is optional.

Install via Conda

If using conda, you can simply install MCPL from the conda-forge channel. Thus:

conda install -c conda-forge mcpl mcpl-extra

As noted above, the mcpl-extra package is optional.

For consistency, it is recommended that your conda environment ONLY uses packages from the conda-forge channel.
