or greater - FFmpeg

Install uv through
pip
command or via Standalone installer.pip install uv
-
Install the latest published stable release of tk3u8 into your system.
uv tool install tk3u8
Alternatively, if you want to get the latest published pre-release version, run this command instead.
uv tool install tk3u8 --pre-release allow
Or if you want to get the most recent update without having to wait for official pre-release, choose this one instead.
uv tool install git+https://github.com/Scoofszlo/tk3u8
Warning
Installing pre-release versions is discouraged as I don't guaranteed them to be stable enough. Although there are testing done for these versions, it is still better if you install the latest stable instead.
-
Run the program.
tk3u8 -v
When stable release is installed properly, the output should look like this:
tk3u8 v0.4.0

To update tk3u8, run the following command.
uv tool upgrade tk3u8
