Installation

Option 1 — pip (recommended)

The easiest way. The Python package ships a pre-built ctoon binary alongside the Python extension — no compiler or CMake needed.

pip install ctoon

After install, ctoon is immediately available in your shell:

ctoon --version

Option 2 — build with CMake

If you need a custom build configuration or are on a platform without a pre-built wheel, you can build from source:

git clone https://github.com/MohammadRaziei/ctoon.git
cd ctoon
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build -j$(nproc)

# Install to system (adds `ctoon` to PATH)
sudo cmake --install build

Requires CMake 3.19+ and a C99-compatible compiler (gcc / clang / MSVC).
