​
Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8 or higher.
  • pip and venv for virtual environments (recommended).

​
Quick Install

Install the XDK from the GitHub subdirectory: 
pip install xdk
This fetches the latest generated version from the main branch.

​

For development or contributing:
  1. Clone the repository: 
    git clone https://github.com/xdevplatform/xdk.git
cd xdk/python
  2. Install dependencies in editable mode:

import xdk
print(xdk.__version__)  # Should print the XDK version
