Installation

Option 1 - pip (recommended)

The easiest way. The Python package ships a pre-built novasvg binary alongside the Python extension, so no compiler or CMake is needed.

pip install novasvg

After install, novasvg is immediately available in your shell:

novasvg --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/novasvg.git
cd novasvg
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build -j$(nproc)

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

Requires CMake 3.19+ and a C++17 compiler (gcc / clang / MSVC).
