Install the slim version it specifically exists for that
Read the docs before you open an issue
@Classic298 commented on GitHub (Apr 23, 2026):
And stop opening issues and calling this a "shit repo" without even reading the docs. This is abusive and spammy behaviour and will not be tolerated.
@ghost commented on GitHub (Apr 23, 2026):
so you think hiding uvx anywhere but readme of a GIT repo is a good idea? what do people do on github? they clone repo and run it, you've got every single type of deploy but simplest cd folder && pip install requirements && python3...
i had to search thru 3-5 pages on docs, then click tabs just to find out that there's an UV way of installing things
how's slim version of a docker file related to pip install in any way?
I've read the docs and read the issues before opening it, its just another attempt to bring to attention what's been abandoned 2 years ago (2024)
