# Materia Environment Setup

We use `uv` as our Python package manager for faster, more reliable dependency management.
https://docs.astral.sh/uv/

We recommend using vscode as your IDE.

### 1. Install UV

```bash
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
```

### 2. Setup the env
Simply run:

```bash
uv sync
```
This will install python & the dependencies declared so far

### 3. Setup pre-commit
```bash
pre-commit install
```

### 4. Adding a dependency

```bash
uv add requests
```
