Installing Packages via PyDevices MIP Index
Use INDEX="https://PyDevices.github.io/mip" in Python, CLI, or mpremote.
1. MicroPython REPL or Python Script
import mip
# Define the PyDevices MIP Index URL:
INDEX = "https://PyDevices.github.io/mip"
# Install pure-Python UI widgets and 2D FrameBuffer graphics:
mip.install("pdwidgets", index=INDEX)
mip.install("pygraphics", index=INDEX)
mip.install("palettes", index=INDEX)
2. Terminal Command Line (Host Python / Desktop MicroPython)
# Linux / macOS:
micropython -m mip install --target lib --index https://PyDevices.github.io/mip pdwidgets
# Windows Command Prompt / PowerShell:
micropython.exe -m mip install --target lib --index https://PyDevices.github.io/mip pdwidgets
3. mpremote (Connected Microcontroller Hardware over Serial)
# Install directly onto attached microcontroller flash storage:
