Installation

Install paso for Node.js or Python.

Node.js

Requires Node.js 18 or later.

npm install -g usepaso

Or install locally in a project:

npm install usepaso

When installed locally, use npx usepaso to run commands.

Python

Requires Python 3.10 or later.

pip install usepaso

With a virtual environment (recommended):

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install usepaso

Verify

usepaso --version

Python import name

When using paso as a library, import from paso:

from paso import ...

This follows the Pillow/PIL convention. The package name (usepaso) differs from the import name (paso).

Troubleshooting

“usepaso: command not found”

  • npm: Run npm install -g usepaso or use npx usepaso
  • pip: Ensure your virtual environment is activated, or check that Python’s bin directory is in your PATH

Upgrade to latest version

  • npm: npm update -g usepaso
  • pip: pip install --upgrade usepaso

You’re ready.

paso is installed and working.
