Installation

Nautil is distributed as a standard Python package. It requires Python 3.8 or newer.

Installing the Core Toolkit

To install the core Nautil toolkit, use standard package managers like pip:

pip install nautil

Installing the Standard Utilities

While nautil provides the core pipeline layout, sources, and artifact management capabilities, everyday file manipulation methods (like copy, move, archive, filter) are deliberately shipped in a separate package called nautil-utils.

It is highly recommended to install both together, as nautil-utils acts as the de-facto “standard library” for Nautil:

pip install nautil nautil-utils

Installing Additional Plugins

The Nautil ecosystem relies heavily on plugins to provide specific domain actions (e.g. Minecraft map manipulation, web deployment methods, etc.).

You can install any plugin via pip alongside Nautil:

pip install nautil-mc

Once installed, simply import their action modules in your build scripts to register their methods automatically!
