Getting Started

Requirements

  • Python 3.10+
  • OpenSSL libraries (provided by the cryptography package)
  • A POSIX-like environment is recommended, but not required.

From PyPI

pip install lupaxa-certtool

This installs:

  • The Python package lupaxa.certtool
  • The CLI entry point certtool

Editable / Development Install

If you're working on the source:

git clone https://github.com/lupaxa-security-toolbox/certtool.git
cd certtool

# Install with dev extras (ruff, mypy, pytest, bump-my-version, etc.)
pip install -e ".[dev]"

You can also use the provided Makefile shortcuts:

make install-dev   # editable install with dev extras
make install-test  # editable install with test extras only

Verifying the Install

certtool --version

Or, via Python:

from lupaxa.certtool import version

print(version())
