How to install uv

Uv is a fast resolver and fetcher for Python packages. Treat this as an orientation note. Anything prescriptive should come from the maintainers directly.

Distribution in practice

The route varies. Some projects publish to system repositories, some to a registry, some only as source that a dedicated build tool consumes.

Who is behind it

Day-to-day direction belongs to the maintainers. They set the roadmap, cut releases, and decide which platforms stay supported.

Before touching anything

Establish which platforms the current release actually targets. Support ranges shift, and the newest release is frequently not the one suited to an older machine.

If something looks wrong

When results differ from expectations, check what is actually being picked up. Duplicate copies and stale caches are the usual explanation.

About these notes

This is a notes-only site. Projects stay with their maintainers; nothing is reproduced here.

Keeping environments clean

Isolating environments, whether with a version manager or per-project directories, removes a whole category of confusing behaviour later on.
