Installation

To use datafaker, first install it.

Make sure you have pipx installed. To do this on Windows:

$ python -m pip install pipx
$ python -m pipx ensurepath

Windows users should also install pyreadline3 so that tab completion works in the interactive commands:

$ python -m pip install pyreadline3

Then close your command shell and open another. Now you can use pipx.

$ pipx install git+https://github.com/tim-band/sqlsynthgen

Check that you can view the help message with:

$ datafaker --help

It can also be used directly within a Docker container by downloading image timband/datafaker. See the quickstart guide for more information.
